1 Peter 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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;	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,
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.	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.
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, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:	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.
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:	4 About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming.
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.	5 But they must render an account to him who is prepared 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.	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.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.	7 But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.	8 But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.	9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.	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.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, 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.	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.
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:	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.
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.	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.
14 If ye be 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.	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.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.	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.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.	16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, he should not be ashamed. Instead, he should glorify God in that name.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?	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?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?	18 And if the just man will scarcely be saved, where will the impious 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 unto a faithful Creator.	19 Therefore, too, let those who suffer according to the will of God commend their souls by good deeds to the faithful Creator.
