I Petri 4

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Christo igitur passo in carne, et vos eadem cogitatione armamini : quia qui passus est in carne, desiit a peccatis :	1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same attitude (for whoever suffers in the flesh has broken with sin),
2 ut jam non desideriis hominum, sed voluntati Dei, quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis.	2 so as not to spend what remains of one's life in the flesh on human desires, but on 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 that has passed is sufficient for doing what the Gentiles like to do: living in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and wanton idolatry.
4 In quo admirantur non concurrentibus vobis in eamdem luxuriæ confusionem, blasphemantes.	4 They are surprised that you do not plunge into the same swamp of profligacy, and they vilify you;
5 Qui reddent rationem ei qui paratus est judicare vivos et mortuos.	5 but they will give an account to him who stands 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 this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead that, though condemned in the flesh in human estimation, they might live in the spirit in the estimation of God.
7 Omnium autem finis appropinquavit. Estote itaque prudentes, et vigilate in orationibus.	7 The end of all things is at hand. Therefore, be serious and sober for prayers.
8 Ante omnia autem, mutuam in vobismetipsis caritatem continuam habentes : quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum.	8 Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Hospitales invicem sine murmuratione.	9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.
10 Unusquisque, sicut accepit gratiam, in alterutrum illam administrantes, sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiæ Dei.	10 As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace.
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 Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12 Carissimi, nolite peregrinari in fervore, qui ad tentationem vobis fit, quasi novi aliquid vobis contingat :	12 Beloved, do not be surprised that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as if something strange were happening to you.
13 sed communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete, ut et in revelatione gloriæ ejus gaudeatis exsultantes.	13 But rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly.
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 are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
15 Nemo autem vestrum patiatur ut homicida, aut fur, aut maledicus, aut alienorum appetitor.	15 But let no one among you be made to suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as an intriguer.
16 Si autem ut christianus, non erubescat : glorificet autem Deum in isto nomine :	16 But whoever is made to suffer as a Christian should not be ashamed but glorify God because of the 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 it is time for the judgment to begin with the household of God; if it begins with us, how will it end for those who fail to obey the gospel of God?
18 et si justus vix salvabitur, impius et peccator ubi parebunt ?	18 "And if the righteous one is barely saved, where will the godless and the sinner appear?"
19 Itaque et hi, qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei, fideli Creatori commendent animas suas in benefactis.	19 As a result, those who suffer in accord with God's will hand their souls over to a faithful creator as they do good.
