Prima lettera di Pietro 4

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armami ni, quia,qui passus est carne, desiit a peccato;	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;
2 ut iam non hominum concupiscentiis sedvoluntate Dei, quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis.	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.
3 Sufficit enimpraeteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam, vobis, qui ambulastis inluxuriis, concupiscentiis, vinolentiis, comissationibus, potationibus etillicitis idolorum cultibus.	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:
4 In quo mirantur non concurrentibus vobis ineandem luxuriae effusionem, blasphemantes;	4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 qui reddent rationem ei, quiparatus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.	5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick 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 them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 Omnium autem finis appropinquavit. Estote itaque prudentes et vigilate inorationibus.	7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 Ante omnia mutuam in vosmetipsos caritatem continuam habentes,quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum;	8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 hospitales invicem sinemurmuratione;	9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 unusquisque, sicut accepit donationem, in alterutrum illamadministrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiae Dei.	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.
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 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.
12 Carissimi, nolite mirari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novialiquid vobis contingat,	12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 sed, quemadmodum communicatis Christi passionibus,gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriae eius gaudeatis exsultantes.	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.
14 Siexprobramini in nomine Christi, beati, quoniam Spiritus gloriae et Dei super vosrequiescit.	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.
15 Nemo enim vestrum patiatur quasi homicida aut fur aut maleficusaut alienorum speculator;	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.
16 si autem ut christianus, non erubescat, glorificetautem Deum in isto nomine.	16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
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 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?
18 “ Et si iustus vix salvatur, impius et peccator ubi parebit? ”.	18 And if the righteous 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 that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
