I Petri 4

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armamini : quia qui passus est in carne, desiit a peccatis :	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 jam non desideriis hominum, sed voluntati 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 enim præteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam his qui ambulaverunt in luxuriis, desideriis, vinolentiis, comessationibus, potationibus, et illicitis 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 admirantur non concurrentibus vobis in eamdem luxuriæ confusionem, 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 qui paratus est judicare 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 mortuis evangelizatum est : ut judicentur quidem secundum homines in carne, vivant autem secundum Deum in 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 in orationibus.	7 But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
8 Ante omnia autem, mutuam in vobismetipsis 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 sine murmuratione.	9 Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
10 Unusquisque, sicut accepit gratiam, in alterutrum illam administrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiæ 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 quis loquitur, quasi sermones Dei : si quis ministrat, tamquam ex virtute, quam administrat Deus : ut in omnibus honorificetur Deus per Jesum Christum : cui est gloria et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. 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 peregrinari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novi aliquid 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 communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriæ ejus 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 Si exprobramini in nomine Christi, beati eritis : quoniam quod est honoris, gloriæ, et virtutis Dei, et qui est ejus Spiritus, super vos requiescit.	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 autem vestrum patiatur ut homicida, aut fur, aut maledicus, aut alienorum appetitor.	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 : glorificet autem 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 judicium a domo Dei. Si autem primum a nobis, quis 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 justus vix salvabitur, impius et peccator ubi parebunt ?	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 Creatori commendent animas suas in benefactis.	19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.
