1 Peter 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:	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 now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh , not after the desires of men, but according 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 is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.	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 you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, 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 render account to him, who is ready to judge the living 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 the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may 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 is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.	7 But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.
8 But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.	8 But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,	9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 As every man hath received grace, ministering 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 words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire 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 Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to 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 if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad 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 you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.	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 a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things.	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 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.	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, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe 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 just man shall 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 also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the 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.
