Prima lettera di Pietro 4

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armami ni, quia,qui passus est carne, desiit a peccato;	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:
2 ut iam non hominum concupiscentiis sedvoluntate Dei, quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis.	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.
3 Sufficit enimpraeteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam, vobis, qui ambulastis inluxuriis, concupiscentiis, vinolentiis, comissationibus, potationibus etillicitis idolorum cultibus.	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.
4 In quo mirantur non concurrentibus vobis ineandem luxuriae effusionem, blasphemantes;	4 Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
5 qui reddent rationem ei, quiparatus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.	5 Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Propter hoc enim et mortuisevangelizatum est, ut iudicentur quidem secundum homines carne, vivant autemsecundum Deum Spiritu.	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.
7 Omnium autem finis appropinquavit. Estote itaque prudentes et vigilate inorationibus.	7 But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
8 Ante omnia mutuam in vosmetipsos caritatem continuam habentes,quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum;	8 But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
9 hospitales invicem sinemurmuratione;	9 Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
10 unusquisque, sicut accepit donationem, in alterutrum illamadministrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiae Dei.	10 As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Si quisloquitur, quasi sermones Dei; si quis ministrat, tamquam ex virtute, quamlargitur Deus, ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus per Iesum Christum: cui estgloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum. Amen.	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.
12 Carissimi, nolite mirari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novialiquid vobis contingat,	12 Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
13 sed, quemadmodum communicatis Christi passionibus,gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriae eius gaudeatis exsultantes.	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.
14 Siexprobramini in nomine Christi, beati, quoniam Spiritus gloriae et Dei super vosrequiescit.	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.
15 Nemo enim vestrum patiatur quasi homicida aut fur aut maleficusaut alienorum speculator;	15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things.
16 si autem ut christianus, non erubescat, glorificetautem Deum in isto nomine.	16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
17 Quoniam tempus est, ut incipiat iudicium a domo Dei; si autem primum a nobis,qui finis eorum, qui non credunt Dei evangelio?	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?
18 “ Et si iustus vix salvatur, impius et peccator ubi parebit? ”.	18 And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Itaque et hi, qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei, fideli Creatoricommendent animas suas in benefacto.	19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.
