1 Peter 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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 therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased 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 as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer by human passions 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 Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:	4 They are surprised that you do not now join them in the same wild profligacy, and they abuse you;
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.	5 but they will give account to him who is ready 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 this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead, that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.	7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober for your prayers.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.	8 Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.	9 Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another.
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 As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
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 whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever 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 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening 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 rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
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 are blessed, because the spirit of glory and of God 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 as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker;
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.	16 yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.
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 the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?	18 And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the impious and 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 let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.
