1 Peter 4

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Since the Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, be ye also armed with the same thought; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

2 so that now the time that remains in the flesh, he might live, not unto the lusts of men, but unto the will of God.

3 For it should suffice us that during the time past of <em>our</em> life we had done the will of the Gentiles, when we conversed in lasciviousness, lusts, drunkenness, gluttony, orgies, and abominable idolatries.

4 And it seems strange to those that speak evil of you, that ye do not run with <em>them</em> to the same unchecked dissolution;

5 the same shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 Because for this cause was the gospel preached also to those that are dead, that they might be judged in flesh according to men, but live in spirit according to God.

7 But the end of all things is at hand; be ye, therefore, temperate and watch unto prayer.

8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves; for charity shall cover <em>a</em> multitude of sins.

9 Lovingly be hospitable one to another without murmuring.

10 Let each one according to the gift that he has received, administer it unto the others, as a good steward of the diverse graces of God.

11 If anyone speaks, <em>let him speak</em> as the oracles of God; if anyone ministers, <em>let them do it</em> according to the virtue which God gives, that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus, the Christ, unto whom is glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12 Beloved, think it not strange when you are tried by fire (which is done to prove you) as though some strange thing happened unto you,

13 but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of the afflictions of the Christ, so that also in the revelation of his glory, ye may rejoice in triumph.

14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed <em>are ye</em>; for the glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you; certainly on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

15 So let none of you suffer as a murderer, or <em>as</em> a thief, or <em>as</em> an evildoer, or as desirous of the things of others.

16 But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17 For it is time that the judgment begins from the house of God; and if <em>it</em> first <em>begins</em> with us, what shall the end <em>be</em> of those that do not obey the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous are saved with difficulty, where shall the unfaithful and the sinner appear?

19 Therefore, let those that are afflicted according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls <em>unto him</em> as unto a faithful Creator, doing good.

New International Version NIV

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.

2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.

3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.

5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.

16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
