Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do *ye* also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,
Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do *ye* also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,
no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.
You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.
For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.
You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy — their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];
Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you.
who shall render account to him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.
But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead.
For to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after [the] flesh, but live, as regards God, after [the] Spirit.
But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers.
but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
hospitable one to another, without murmuring;
Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.
each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
If any one speak -- as oracles of God; if any one minister -- as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen.
Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
Suffering as Christians
Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;
Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;
Suffering for Being a Christian
Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.
but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exultation.
Instead, be very glad — for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
If ye are reproached in [the] name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; for the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you: [on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.]
Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;
If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs.
but if as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name.
But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!
For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God [is come]; but if first from us, what [shall be] the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?
For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News?
And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and [the] sinner appear?
