< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
If then the Meshiha hath suffered for you in the flesh, be you also armed in it with the same mind; for every one who dieth in his body hath ceased from all sins,
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
that henceforth to the lusts of men he should not live, what time he is in the body, but to the will of Aloha.
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
For the time which hath passed sufficeth to have served the will of the Gentiles in indulgence, in drunkenness, in vileness, in revellings, and in the service of demons.
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
And, behold, now they wonder and blaspheme at you because you riot not with them in that former indulgence;
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
they who shall give account to Aloha, who will judge the dead and the living.
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
For on this account the dead also have been evangelized; that they might be judged as men in the flesh, and live with Aloha in the Spirit.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
BUT the end of all cometh; therefore be sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
And before every thing have ardent love for one another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
And be lovers of guests without murmuring.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
And every man of you the gift which he hath received from Aloha, let him minister thereof unto his neighbours as good stewards of the various grace of Aloha.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Whoever shall speak, as the word of Aloha let him speak and whoever ministereth, (he shall minister) as from the power which Aloha giveth to him, that in every thing which you do Aloha may be glorified through Jeshu Meshiha, whose are the glory and honour to the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
My beloved, be not amazed at the temptations which you have, as that something strange happeneth to you, because for your probation they have been;
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
but rejoice that you are partakers of the sufferings of the Meshiha, that so also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and exult.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
And if you be reviled for the sake of the name of the Meshiha, you are happy; for the Spirit of the glory of Aloha resteth upon you.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
Only, let no man of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evils.
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify Aloha in that very name.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
For the time is, that judgment shall begin from the house of Aloha. But if from us it begin, what is the end (to be) of them who obey not the gospel of Aloha?
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, the wicked and the sinner where shall he be found?
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the will of Aloha commend to him their souls in good works, as unto the Faithful Creator.
