1 Peter 4

New Century Version NCV

1 Since Christ suffered while he was in his body, strengthen yourselves with the same way of thinking Christ had. The person who has suffered in the body is finished with sin.

2 Strengthen yourselves so that you will live here on earth doing what God wants, not the evil things people want.

3 In the past you wasted too much time doing what nonbelievers enjoy. You were guilty of sexual sins, evil desires, drunkenness, wild and drunken parties, and hateful idol worship.

4 Nonbelievers think it is strange that you do not do the many wild and wasteful things they do, so they insult you.

5 But they will have to explain this to God, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 For this reason the Good News was preached to those who are now dead. Even though they were judged like all people, the Good News was preached to them so they could live in the spirit as God lives.

7 The time is near when all things will end. So think clearly and control yourselves so you will be able to pray.

8 Most importantly, love each other deeply, because love will cause many sins to be forgiven.

9 Open your homes to each other, without complaining.

10 Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good servants of God's various gifts of grace.

11 Anyone who speaks should speak words from God. Anyone who serves should serve with the strength God gives so that in everything God will be praised through Jesus Christ. Power and glory belong to him forever and ever. Amen.

12 My friends, do not be surprised at the terrible trouble which now comes to test you. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.

13 But be happy that you are sharing in Christ's sufferings so that you will be happy and full of joy when Christ comes again in glory.

14 When people insult you because you follow Christ, you are blessed, because the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is with you.

15 Do not suffer for murder, theft, or any other crime, nor because you trouble other people.

16 But if you suffer because you are a Christian, do not be ashamed. Praise God because you wear that name.

17 It is time for judgment to begin with God's family. And if that judging begins with us, what will happen to those people who do not obey the Good News of God?

18 "If it is very hard for a good person to be saved, the wicked person and the sinner will surely be lost!"

19 So those who suffer as God wants should trust their souls to the faithful Creator as they continue to do what is right.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Christo igitur passo in carne et vos eadem cogitatione armamini quia qui passus est carne desiit a peccatis

2 ut iam non hominum desideriis sed voluntate Dei quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis

3 sufficit enim praeteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam qui ambulaverunt in luxuriis desideriis vinolentiis comesationibus potationibus et inlicitis idolorum cultibus

4 in quo peregrinantur non concurrentibus vobis in eandem luxuriae confusionem blasphemantes

5 qui reddent rationem ei qui paratus est iudicare vivos et mortuos

6 propter hoc enim et mortuis evangelizatum est ut iudicentur quidem secundum homines in carne vivant autem secundum Deum spiritu

7 omnium autem finis adpropinquavit estote itaque prudentes et vigilate in orationibus

8 ante omnia mutuam in vosmet ipsos caritatem continuam habentes quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum

9 hospitales invicem sine murmuratione

10 unusquisque sicut accepit gratiam in alterutrum illam administrantes sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiae Dei

11 si quis loquitur quasi sermones Dei si quis ministrat tamquam ex virtute quam administrat Deus ut in omnibus honorificetur Deus per Iesum Christum cui est gloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum amen

12 carissimi nolite peregrinari in fervore qui ad temptationem vobis fit quasi novi aliquid vobis contingat

13 sed communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete ut et in revelatione gloriae eius gaudeatis exultantes

14 si exprobramini in nomine Christi beati quoniam gloriae Dei Spiritus in vobis requiescit

15 nemo enim vestrum patiatur quasi homicida aut fur aut maledicus aut alienorum appetitor

16 si autem ut Christianus non erubescat glorificet autem Deum in isto nomine

17 quoniam tempus ut incipiat iudicium de domo Dei si autem primum a nobis qui finis eorum qui non credunt Dei evangelio

18 et si iustus vix salvatur impius et peccator ubi parebit

19 itaque et hii qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei fideli creatori commendant animas suas in benefactis
