rsv 1Peter:4:1-11
rsv@1Peter:4:1 @ Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
rsv@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer by human passions but by the will of God.
rsv@1Peter:4:3 @ Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.
rsv@1Peter:4:4 @ They are surprised that you do not now join them in the same wild profligacy, and they abuse you;
rsv@1Peter:4:5 @ but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
rsv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead, that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God.
rsv@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober for your prayers.
rsv@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.
rsv@1Peter:4:9 @ Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another.
rsv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
rsv@1Peter:4:11 @ whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
