CHAP. IV.
1 He exhorteth them to cease from sin by the
example of Christ, and the consideration of
the general end that now approacheth: 12
and comforteth them against persecution.
1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath
suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind: for
he that hath suffered in the flesh hath
ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the
rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts
of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time past of our life may
suffice us to have wrought the will of the
Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness,
lusts, excess of wine, revelings,
banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 In which they think it strange that
ye run not with them to the same excess
of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to him that
is note ready to judge the living and the
dead.
6 For, for this cause was the gospel
preached also to them that are dead, that
they might be judged according to men
in the flesh, but live according to God in
the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is at hand:
be ye therefore sober, and watch to
prayer.
8 And above all things have fervent
charity among yourselves: for note charity
will cover a multitude of sins.
9 noteUse hospitality one to another without
grudging.
10 noteAs every man hath received the
gift, even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold
grace of God.
11 If any man speaketh let him speak
as the oracles of God; if any man ministereth
let him do it as of the ability
which God giveth: that God in all things
may be glorified through Jesus Christ;
to whom be praise and dominion for ever
and ever. Amen.
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning
the fiery trial which is to try
you, as though some strange thing happened
to you:
13 But rejoice, seeing ye are partakers
of Christ's sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad
also with exceeding joy.
14 noteIf ye are reproached for the name
of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of
glory and of God resteth upon you. On
their part he is evil spoken of, but on
your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of your suffer as a
murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer,
or as a busy-body in other men's
matters.
16 Yet if any man suffereth as a Christian,
let him not be ashamed; but let him
glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment
must begin at the house of God: and if
it first beginneth at us, what will be the
end of them that obey not the gospel of
God?
18 noteAnd if the righteous is scarcely
saved, where will the ungodly and the
sinner appear?
19 Wherefore, let them that suffer according
to the will of God, commit the
keeping of their souls to him in well-doing,
as to a faithful Creator.
