< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Therefore, because Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same intention. For whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.
χριστου ουν παθοντος υπερ ημων σαρκι και υμεις την αυτην εννοιαν οπλισασθε οτι ο παθων [ εν ] σαρκι πεπαυται αμαρτιας
2 As a result, such a person, for the rest of his time in the flesh, no longer lives for men's desires, but for God's will.
εις το μηκετι ανθρωπων επιθυμιαις αλλα θεληματι θεου τον επιλοιπον εν σαρκι βιωσαι χρονον
3 You have spent enough time doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passion, drunkenness, drunken celebrations, having wild parties, and committing disgusting acts of idolatry.
αρκετος γαρ υμιν ο παρεληλυθως χρονος του βιου το θελημα των εθνων κατεργασασθαι πεπορευμενους εν ασελγειαις επιθυμιαις οινοφλυγιαις κωμοις ποτοις και αθεμιτοις ειδωλολατριαις
4 They think it is strange that you do not join with them in these floods of reckless behavior, so they speak evil about you.
εν ω ξενιζονται μη συντρεχοντων υμων εις την αυτην της ασωτιας αναχυσιν βλασφημουντες
5 They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
οι αποδωσουσιν λογον τω ετοιμως εχοντι κριναι ζωντας και νεκρους
6 For this purpose the gospel was preached also to the dead, so that, although they have been judged in the flesh as humans, they may live in the spirit the way God does.
εις τουτο γαρ και νεκροις ευηγγελισθη ινα κριθωσιν μεν κατα ανθρωπους σαρκι ζωσιν δε κατα θεον πνευματι
7 The end of all things is coming near. Therefore be of sound mind, and be sober in your thinking for the sake of prayers.
παντων δε το τελος ηγγικεν σωφρονησατε ουν και νηψατε εις τας προσευχας
8 Above all things, have fervent love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
προ παντων δε την εις εαυτους αγαπην εκτενη εχοντες οτι [ η ] αγαπη καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων
9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.
φιλοξενοι εις αλληλους ανευ γογγυσμων
10 As each one of you has received a gift, use it to serve one another, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
εκαστος καθως ελαβεν χαρισμα εις εαυτους αυτο διακονουντες ως καλοι οικονομοι ποικιλης χαριτος θεου
11 If anyone speaks, let it be with God's words. If anyone serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Do these things so that in all ways God would be glorified through Jesus Christ. May there be to Jesus Christ glory and power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ει τις λαλει ως λογια θεου ει τις διακονει ως εξ ισχυος ως 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 Beloved, do not regard as strange the testing in the fire that has happened to you, as if something strange were happening to you.
αγαπητοι μη ξενιζεσθε τη εν υμιν πυρωσει προς πειρασμον υμιν γινομενη ως ξενου υμιν συμβαινοντος
13 Instead, however much you experience the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that you may also rejoice and be glad at the revealing of his glory.
αλλα καθο κοινωνειτε τοις του χριστου παθημασιν χαιρετε ινα και εν τη αποκαλυψει της δοξης αυτου χαρητε αγαλλιωμενοι
14 If you are insulted for Christ's name, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God is resting on you.
ει ονειδιζεσθε εν ονοματι χριστου μακαριοι οτι το της δοξης και δυναμεως και το του θεου πνευμα εφ υμας αναπαυεται κατα μεν αυτους βλασφημειται κατα δε υμας δοξαζεται
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or a meddler.
μη γαρ τις υμων πασχετω ως φονευς η κλεπτης η κακοποιος η ως αλλοτριοεπισκοπος
16 But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; instead, let him glorify God with that name.
ει δε ως χριστιανος μη αισχυνεσθω δοξαζετω δε τον θεον εν τω μερει τουτω
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey God's gospel?
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 it is difficult for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
και ει ο δικαιος μολις σωζεται ο ασεβης και αμαρτωλος που φανειται
19 Therefore let those who suffer because of God's will entrust their souls to the faithful Creator in well-doing.
ωστε και οι πασχοντες κατα το θελημα του θεου ως πιστω κτιστη παρατιθεσθωσαν τας ψυχας αυτων εν αγαθοποιια
