< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Since Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also should be armed with the same intention. For he who suffers in the flesh desists from sin,
χριστου ουν παθοντος υπερ ημων σαρκι και υμεις την αυτην εννοιαν οπλισασθε οτι ο παθων εν σαρκι πεπαυται αμαρτιας
2 so that now he may live, for the remainder of his time in the flesh, not by the desires of men, but by the will of God.
εις το μηκετι ανθρωπων επιθυμιαις αλλα θεληματι θεου τον επιλοιπον εν σαρκι βιωσαι χρονον
3 For the time that has passed is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, those who have walked in luxuries, lusts, intoxication, feasting, drinking, and the illicit worship of idols.
αρκετος γαρ ημιν ο παρεληλυθως χρονος του βιου το θελημα των εθνων κατεργασασθαι πεπορευμενους εν ασελγειαις επιθυμιαις οινοφλυγιαις κωμοις ποτοις και αθεμιτοις ειδωλολατρειαις
4 About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming.
εν ω ξενιζονται μη συντρεχοντων υμων εις την αυτην της ασωτιας αναχυσιν βλασφημουντες
5 But they must render an account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.
οι αποδωσουσιν λογον τω ετοιμως εχοντι κριναι ζωντας και νεκρους
6 For because of this, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, certainly, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit.
εις τουτο γαρ και νεκροις ευηγγελισθη ινα κριθωσιν μεν κατα ανθρωπους σαρκι ζωσιν δε κατα θεον πνευματι
7 But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.
παντων δε το τελος ηγγικεν σωφρονησατε ουν και νηψατε εις τας προσευχας
8 But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.
προ παντων δε την εις εαυτους αγαπην εκτενη εχοντες οτι η αγαπη καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων
9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
φιλοξενοι εις αλληλους ανευ γογγυσμων
10 Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
εκαστος καθως ελαβεν χαρισμα εις εαυτους αυτο διακονουντες ως καλοι οικονομοι ποικιλης χαριτος θεου
11 When anyone speaks, it should be like words of God. When anyone ministers, it should be from the virtue that God provides, so that in all things God may be honored through Jesus Christ. To him is glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ει τις λαλει ως λογια θεου ει τις διακονει ως εξ ισχυος ης χορηγει ο θεος ινα εν πασιν δοξαζηται ο θεος δια ιησου χριστου ω εστιν η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
12 Most beloved, do not choose to sojourn in the passion which is a temptation to you, as if something new might happen to you.
αγαπητοι μη ξενιζεσθε τη εν υμιν πυρωσει προς πειρασμον υμιν γινομενη ως ξενου υμιν συμβαινοντος
13 But instead, commune in the Passion of Christ, and be glad that, when his glory will be revealed, you too may rejoice with exultation.
αλλα καθως κοινωνειτε τοις του χριστου παθημασιν χαιρετε ινα και εν τη αποκαλυψει της δοξης αυτου χαρητε αγαλλιωμενοι
14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you will be blessed, because that which is of the honor, glory, and power of God, and that which is of his Spirit, rests upon you.
ει ονειδιζεσθε εν ονοματι χριστου μακαριοι οτι το της δοξης και το του θεου πνευμα εφ υμας αναπαυεται κατα μεν αυτους βλασφημειται κατα δε υμας δοξαζεται
15 But let none of you suffer for being a murderer, or a thief, or a slanderer, or one who covets what belongs to another.
μη γαρ τις υμων πασχετω ως φονευς η κλεπτης η κακοποιος η ως αλλοτριοεπισκοπος
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, he should not be ashamed. Instead, he should glorify God in that name.
ει δε ως χριστιανος μη αισχυνεσθω δοξαζετω δε τον θεον εν τω μερει τουτω
17 For it is time that judgment begin at the house of God. And if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who do not believe the Gospel of God?
οτι ο καιρος του αρξασθαι το κριμα απο του οικου του θεου ει δε πρωτον αφ ημων τι το τελος των απειθουντων τω του θεου ευαγγελιω
18 And if the just man will scarcely be saved, where will the impious and the sinner appear?
και ει ο δικαιος μολις σωζεται ο ασεβης και αμαρτωλος που φανειται
19 Therefore, too, let those who suffer according to the will of God commend their souls by good deeds to the faithful Creator.
ωστε και οι πασχοντες κατα το θελημα του θεου ως πιστω κτιστη παρατιθεσθωσαν τας ψυχας εαυτων εν αγαθοποιια
