Forasmuch then as{G3767} Christ{G5547} hath suffered{G3958}{(G5631)} for{G5228} us{G2257} in the flesh{G4561}, arm{G3695}{(G5669)} yourselves{G5210} likewise{G2532} with the same{G846} mind{G1771}: for{G3754} he that hath suffered{G3958}{(G5631)} in{G1722} the flesh{G4561} hath ceased{G3973}{(G5769)} from sin{G266};

That{G1519} he{G980} no longer{G3371} should live{G980}{(G5658)} the rest{G1954} of his time{G5550} in{G1722} the flesh{G4561} to the lusts{G1939} of men{G444}, but{G235} to the will{G2307} of God{G2316}.

For{G1063} the time{G5550} past{G3928}{(G5756)} of our life{G979} may suffice{G713} us{G2254} to have wrought{G2716}{(G5664)} the will{G2307} of the Gentiles{G1484}, when we walked{G4198}{(G5768)} in{G1722} lasciviousness{G766}, lusts{G1939}, excess of wine{G3632}, revellings{G2970}, banquetings{G4224}, and{G2532} abominable{G111} idolatries{G1495}:

Wherein{G1722}{G3739} they think it strange{G3579}{(G5743)} that ye{G5216} run{G4936}{(G5723)} not{G3361} with them to{G1519} the same{G846} excess{G401} of riot{G810}, speaking evil of{G987}{(G5723)} you:

Who{G3739} shall give{G591}{(G5692)} account{G3056} to him that is{G2192}{(G5723)} ready{G2093} to judge{G2919}{(G5658)} the quick{G2198}{(G5723)} and{G2532} the dead{G3498}.

For{G1063} for{G1519} this cause{G5124} was the gospel preached{G2097}{(G5681)} also{G2532} to them that are dead{G3498}, that{G2443} they might be judged{G2919}{(G5686)}{G3303} according to{G2596} men{G444} in the flesh{G4561}, but{G1161} live{G2198}{(G5725)} according to{G2596} God{G2316} in the spirit{G4151}.

But{G1161} the end{G5056} of all things{G3956} is at hand{G1448}{(G5758)}: be ye{G4993} therefore{G3767} sober{G4993}{(G5657)}, and{G2532} watch{G3525}{(G5657)} unto{G1519} prayer{G4335}.

And{G1161} above{G4253} all things{G3956} have{G2192}{(G5723)} fervent{G1618} charity{G26} among{G1519} yourselves{G1438}: for{G3754} charity{G26} shall cover{G2572}{(G5692)} the multitude{G4128} of sins{G266}.

Use hospitality{G5382} one to another{G1519}{G240} without{G427} grudging{G1112}.

As{G2531} every man{G1538} hath received{G2983}{(G5627)} the gift{G5486}, even so minister{G1247}{(G5723)} the same{G846} one to another{G1519}{G1438}, as{G5613} good{G2570} stewards{G3623} of the manifold{G4164} grace{G5485} of God{G2316}.

If any man{G1536} speak{G2980}{(G5719)}, let him speak as{G5613} the oracles{G3051} of God{G2316}; if any man{G1536} minister{G1247}{(G5719)}, let him do it as{G5613} of{G1537} the ability{G2479} which{G3739} God{G2316} giveth{G5524}{(G5719)}: that{G2443} God{G2316} in{G1722} all things{G3956} may be glorified{G1392}{(G5747)} through{G1223} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, to whom{G3739} be{G2076}{(G5748)} praise{G1391} and{G2532} dominion{G2904} for{G1519} ever{G165} and ever{G165}. Amen{G281}.

Beloved{G27}, think it{G3579} not{G3361} strange{G3579}{(G5744)} concerning the{G5213} fiery trial{G4451} which{G1722} is{G1096}{(G5740)} to{G4314} try{G3986} you{G5213}, as{G5613} though some strange thing{G3581} happened{G4819}{(G5723)} unto you{G5213}:

But{G235} rejoice{G5463}{(G5720)}, inasmuch as{G2526} ye are partakers{G2841}{(G5719)} of Christ's{G5547} sufferings{G3804}; that{G2443}, when{G1722} his{G846} glory{G1391} shall be revealed{G602}, ye may be glad{G5463}{(G5647)} also{G2532} with exceeding joy{G21}{(G5740)}.

If{G1487} ye be reproached{G3679}{(G5743)} for{G1722} the name{G3686} of Christ{G5547}, happy{G3107} are ye; for{G3754} the spirit{G4151} of glory{G1391} and{G2532} of God{G2316} resteth{G373}{(G5731)} upon{G1909} you{G5209}: on{G2596}{G3303} their part{G846} he is evil spoken of{G987}{(G5743)}, but{G1161} on{G2596} your part{G5209} he is glorified{G1392}{(G5743)}.

But{G1063} let{G3958} none{G3361}{G5100} of you{G5216} suffer{G3958}{(G5720)} as{G5613} a murderer{G5406}, or{G2228} as a thief{G2812}, or{G2228} as an evildoer{G2555}, or{G2228} as{G5613} a busybody in other men's matters{G244}.

Yet{G1161} if{G1487} any man suffer as{G5613} a Christian{G5546}, let him{G153} not{G3361} be ashamed{G153}{(G5744)}; but{G1161} let him glorify{G1392}{(G5720)} God{G2316} on{G1722} this{G5129} behalf{G3313}.

For{G3754} the time{G2540} is come that judgment{G2917} must begin{G756}{(G5670)} at{G575} the house{G3624} of God{G2316}: and{G1161} if{G1487} it first{G4412} begin at{G575} us{G2257}, what{G5101} shall the end{G5056} be of them that obey not{G544}{(G5723)} the gospel{G2098} of God{G2316}?

And{G2532} if{G1487} the righteous{G1342} scarcely{G3433} be saved{G4982}{(G5743)}, where{G4226} shall{G5316} the ungodly{G765} and{G2532} the sinner{G268} appear{G5316}{(G5695)}?

Wherefore{G5620}{G2532} let{G3908} them that suffer{G3958}{(G5723)} according to{G2596} the will{G2307} of God{G2316} commit the keeping{G3908}{(G5744)} of their{G1438} souls{G5590} to him in{G1722} well doing{G16}, as{G5613} unto a faithful{G4103} Creator{G2939}.
