1 Forasmuch then as 3767 Christ 5547 hath suffered 3958 for 5228 us 2257 in the flesh 4561, arm 3695 yourselves 5210 likewise 2532 with the same 846 mind 1771: for 3754 he that hath suffered 3958 in 1722 the flesh 4561 hath ceased 3973 from sin 266;

2 That 1519 he 980 0 no longer 3371 should live 980 the rest 1954 of his time 5550 in 1722 the flesh 4561 to the lusts 1939 of men 444, but 235 to the will 2307 of God 2316.

3 For 1063 the time 5550 past 3928 of our life 979 may suffice 713 us 2254 to have wrought 2716 the will 2307 of the Gentiles 1484, when we walked 4198 in 1722 lasciviousness 766, lusts 1939, excess of wine 3632, revellings 2970, banquetings 4224, and 2532 abominable 111 idolatries 1495:

4 Wherein 1722 3739 they think it strange 3579 that ye 5216 run 4936 not 3361 with them to 1519 the same 846 excess 401 of riot 810, speaking evil of 987 you:

5 Who 3739 shall give 591 account 3056 to him that is 2192 ready 2093 to judge 2919 the quick 2198 and 2532 the dead 3498.

6 For 1063 for 1519 this cause 5124 was the gospel preached 2097 also 2532 to them that are dead 3498, that 2443 they might be judged 2919 3303 according to 2596 men 444 in the flesh 4561, but 1161 live 2198 according to 2596 God 2316 in the spirit 4151.

7 But 1161 the end 5056 of all things 3956 is at hand 1448: be ye 4993 0 therefore 3767 sober 4993, and 2532 watch 3525 unto 1519 prayer 4335.

8 And 1161 above 4253 all things 3956 have 2192 fervent 1618 charity 26 among 1519 yourselves 1438: for 3754 charity 26 shall cover 2572 the multitude 4128 of sins 266.

9 Use hospitality 5382 one to another 1519 240 without 427 grudging 1112.

10 As 2531 every man 1538 hath received 2983 the gift 5486, even so minister 1247 the same 846 one to another 1519 1438, as 5613 good 2570 stewards 3623 of the manifold 4164 grace 5485 of God 2316.

11 If any man 1536 speak 2980, let him speak as 5613 the oracles 3051 of God 2316; if any man 1536 minister 1247, let him do it as 5613 of 1537 the ability 2479 which 3739 God 2316 giveth 5524: that 2443 God 2316 in 1722 all things 3956 may be glorified 1392 through 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, to whom 3739 be 2076 praise 1391 and 2532 dominion 2904 for 1519 ever 165 and ever 165. Amen 281.

12 Beloved 27, think it 3579 0 not 3361 strange 3579 concerning the fiery trial 4451 which 1722 is 1096 to 4314 try 3986 you 5213, as 5613 though some strange thing 3581 happened 4819 unto you 5213:

13 But 235 rejoice 5463, inasmuch as 2526 ye are partakers 2841 of Christ's 5547 sufferings 3804; that 2443, when 1722 his 846 glory 1391 shall be revealed 602, ye may be glad 5463 also 2532 with exceeding joy 21.

14 If 1487 ye be reproached 3679 for 1722 the name 3686 of Christ 5547, happy 3107 are ye; for 3754 the spirit 4151 of glory 1391 and 2532 of God 2316 resteth 373 upon 1909 you 5209: on 2596 3303 their part 846 he is evil spoken of 987, but 1161 on 2596 your part 5209 he is glorified 1392.

15 But 1063 let 3958 0 none 3361 5100 of you 5216 suffer 3958 as 5613 a murderer 5406, or 2228 as a thief 2812, or 2228 as an evildoer 2555, or 2228 as 5613 a busybody in other men's matters 244.

16 Yet 1161 if 1487 any man suffer as 5613 a Christian 5546, let him 153 0 not 3361 be ashamed 153; but 1161 let him glorify 1392 God 2316 on 1722 this 5129 behalf 3313.

17 For 3754 the time 2540 is come that judgment 2917 must begin 756 at 575 the house 3624 of God 2316: and 1161 if 1487 it first 4412 begin at 575 us 2257, what 5101 shall the end 5056 be of them that obey not 544 the gospel 2098 of God 2316?

18 And 2532 if 1487 the righteous 1342 scarcely 3433 be saved 4982, where 4226 shall 5316 0 the ungodly 765 and 2532 the sinner 268 appear 5316?

19 Wherefore 5620 2532 let 3908 0 them that suffer 3958 according to 2596 the will 2307 of God 2316 commit the keeping 3908 of their 1438 souls 5590 to him in 1722 well doing 16, as 5613 unto a faithful 4103 Creator 2939.
