* Therefore , Christ having suffered for us in [the ] flesh , also you arm yourselves [with ] the same thought , that he suffering in [the ] flesh has been made to rest from sin , * in order no longer to [live ] in [the ] lusts of men , but in [the ] will of God the remaining time in [the ] flesh . * For the time of life which is past is enough for us to have worked out the will of the nations , having gone on in lasciviousness , lusts , excess of wine , parties , carousings , and abominable idolatries . * In these things they are surprised , [that ] you [are ] not running with [them ] into the same excess of riot , blaspheming . * But they shall give account to Him who is ready to judge [the ] living and [the ] dead . * For to this [end ] the gospel was preached also to [the ] dead , that they might be judged according to men in [the ] flesh , but live according to God in [the ] Spirit . * But the end of all things has drawn near . Therefore be of sound mind , and be sensible to prayers . * And above all things have fervent love to yourselves , for love will cover a multitude of sins . * Be hospitable to one another , without grudging ; * each one as he received a gift , ministering it to yourselves as good stewards of the manifold grace of God . * If anyone speaks , [let it be ] as [the ] words of God . If anyone ministers , let him do it as of the ability which God gives , so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ , to whom is the glory , and the might forever and ever . Amen .
