* Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered (5631 ) for us in the flesh , arm (5669 ) yourselves likewise with the same mind : for he that hath suffered (5631 ) in the flesh hath ceased (5769 ) from sin ; * That he no longer should live (5658 ) the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men , but to the will of God . * For the time past (5756 ) of our life may suffice us to have wrought (5664 ) the will of the Gentiles , when we walked (5768 ) in lasciviousness , lusts , excess of wine , revellings , banquetings , and abominable idolatries : * Wherein they think it strange (5743 ) that ye run (5723 ) not with them to the same excess of riot , speaking evil of (5723 ) you : * Who shall give (5692 ) account to him that is (5723 ) ready to judge (5658 ) the quick (5723 ) and the dead . * For for this cause was the gospel preached (5681 ) also to them that are dead , that they might be judged (5686 ) according to men in the flesh , but live (5725 ) according to God in the spirit . * But the end of all things is at hand (5758 ): be ye therefore sober (5657 ), and watch (5657 ) unto prayer . * And above all things have (5723 ) fervent charity among yourselves : for charity shall cover (5692 ) the multitude of sins . * Use hospitality one to another without grudging . * As every man hath received (5627 ) the gift , even so minister (5723 ) the same one to another , as good stewards of the manifold grace of God . * If any man speak (5719 ), let him speak as the oracles of God ; if any man minister (5719 ), let him do it as of the ability which God giveth (5719 ): that God in all things may be glorified (5747 ) through Jesus Christ , to whom be (5748 ) praise and dominion for ever and ever . Amen . * Beloved , think it not strange (5744 ) concerning the fiery trial which is (5740 ) to try you , as though some strange thing happened (5723 ) unto you : * But rejoice (5720 ), inasmuch as ye are partakers (5719 ) of Christs sufferings ; that , when his glory shall be revealed , ye may be glad (5647 ) also with exceeding joy (5740 ). * If ye be reproached (5743 ) for the name of Christ , happy are ye ; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth (5731 ) upon you : on their part he is evil spoken of (5743 ), but on your part he is glorified (5743 ). * But let none of you suffer (5720 ) as a murderer , or as a thief , or as an evildoer , or as a busybody in other mens matters . * Yet if any man suffer as a Christian , let him not be ashamed (5744 ); but let him glorify (5720 ) God on this behalf . * For the time is come that judgment must begin (5670 ) at the house of God : and if it first begin at us , what shall the end be of them that obey not (5723 ) the gospel of God ? * And if the righteous scarcely be saved (5743 ), where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear (5695 )? * Wherefore let them that suffer (5723 ) according to the will of God commit the keeping (5744 ) of their souls to him in well doing , as unto a faithful Creator .
