ASV_Strong : 1 Peter 4
1. Forasmuch then as[G3767] Christ[G5547] suffered[G3958, 5228, 2257] in the flesh[G4561], arm[G3695] ye yourselves[G5210] also[G2532] with the same[G846] mind[G1771]; for[G3754] he that hath suffered[G3958] in[G1722] the flesh[G4561] hath ceased[G3973] from sin[G266];
2. that[G1519] ye[G980] no longer[G3371] should live[G980] the rest[G1954] of[G5550] your time[G5550] in[G1722] the flesh[G4561] to the lusts[G1939] of men[G444], but[G235] to the will[G2307] of God[G2316].
3. For[G1063] the time[G5550] past[G3928, 979] may suffice[G713, 2254] to have wrought[G2716] the desire[G2307] of the Gentiles[G1484], and to have walked[G4198] in[G1722] lasciviousness[G766], lusts[G1939], winebibbings[G3632], revellings[G2970], carousings[G4224], and[G2532] abominable[G111] idolatries[G1495]:
4. wherein[G1722, 3739] they think it strange[G3579] that ye[G5216] run[G4936] not[G3361] with[G1519] them into[G1519] the same[G846] excess[G401] of riot[G810], speaking evil of you[G987]:
5. who[G3739] shall give[G591] account[G3056] to him that is[G2192] ready[G2093] to judge[G2919] the living[G2198] and[G2532] the dead[G3498].
6. For[G1063] unto[G1519] this end[G5124] was the gospel preached[G2097] even[G2532] to the dead[G3498], that[G2443] they might be judged[G2919] indeed according to[G2596] men[G444] in the flesh[G4561], but[G1161] live[G2198] according to[G2596] God[G2316] in the spirit[G4151].
7. But[G1161] the end[G5056] of all things[G3956] is at hand[G1448]: be ye[G4993] therefore[G3767] of sound mind[G3525], and[G2532] be sober[G4993] unto[G1519] prayer[G4335]:
8. [G1161] above[G4253] all things[G3956] being[G2192] fervent[G1618] in your love[G26] among[G1519] yourselves[G1438]; for[G3754] love[G26] covereth[G2572] a multitude[G4128] of sins[G266]:
9. using hospitality[G5382] one[G240] to[G1519] another[G240] without[G427] murmuring[G1112]:
10. according as[G2531] each[G1538] hath received[G2983] a gift[G5486], ministering[G1247] it[G846] among[G1519] yourselves[G1438], as[G5613] good[G2570] stewards[G3623] of the manifold[G4164] grace[G5485] of God[G2316];
11. if[G1487] any man[G5100] speaketh[G2980], speaking as[G5613] it were oracles[G3051] of God[G2316]; if[G1487] any man[G5100] ministereth[G1247], ministering as[G5613] of[G1537] the strength[G2479] which[G3739] God[G2316] supplieth[G5524]: that[G2443] in[G1722] all things[G3956] God[G2316] may be glorified[G1392] through[G1223] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547], whose[G3739] is[G2076] the glory[G1391] and[G2532] the dominion[G2904] for[G1519] ever[G165] and ever[G165]. Amen[G281].
12. Beloved[G27], think it[G3579] not[G3361] strange[G3579] concerning[G5213] the fiery trial[G4451] among you[G1722], which cometh upon you[G5213] to[G4314] prove[G3986] you[G5213], as though a strange thing[G3581] happened[G4819] unto you[G5213]:
13. but[G235] insomuch as[G2526] ye are partakers[G2841] of Christ[G5547]'s sufferings[G3804], rejoice[G5463]; that[G2443] at[G1722] the revelation[G602] of his[G846] glory[G1391] also[G2532] ye may rejoice[G5463] with exceeding joy[G21].
14. If[G1487] ye are reproached[G3679] for[G1722] the name[G3686] of Christ[G5547], blessed[G3107] are ye[G3754]; because the Spirit[G4151] of[G987] glory[G1391] and[G2532] the Spirit of God[G2316] resteth[G373] upon[G1909] you[G5209].
15. For[G1063] let[G3958] none[G3361] of you[G5216] suffer[G3958] as[G5613] a[G5100] murderer[G5406], or[G2228] a thief[G2812], or[G2228] an evil-doer[G2555], or[G2228] as[G5613] a meddler in other men[G244]'s matters:
16. but[G1161] if[G1487] a man suffer as[G5613] a Christian[G5546], let him[G153] not[G3361] be ashamed[G153]; but[G1161] let him glorify[G1392] God[G2316] in[G1722] this[G5129] name[G3313].
17. For[G3754] the time[G2540] is come for judgment[G2917] to begin[G756] at[G575] the house[G3624] of God[G2316]: and[G1161] if[G1487] it begin first[G4412] at[G575] us[G2257], what[G5101] shall be the end[G5056] of them that obey not[G544] the gospel[G2098] of God[G2316]?
18. And[G2532] if[G1487] the righteous[G1342] is scarcely[G3433] saved[G4982], where[G4226] shall[G5316] the ungodly[G765] and[G2532] sinner[G268] appear[G5316]?
19. Wherefore[G5620] let them also that suffer[G3958] according to[G2596] the will[G2307] of God[G2316] commit[G3908] their[G1438] souls[G5590] in[G1722] well-doing[G16] unto[G5613] a faithful[G4103] Creator[G2939].
