 <<  1 Petrus 4 >> 

1SINCE Christ suffered physical pain you must arm yourselves with the same inner conviction that he had. To be free from sin means bodily suffering,

2and the man who accepts this will spend the rest of his time here on earth, not in being led by human desires, but in doing the will of God.

3Your past life may have been good enough for pagan purposes, though it meant sensuality, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousals and worshipping forbidden gods.

4Indeed your former companions may think it very strange that you no longer join with them in their riotous excesses, and accordingly say all sorts of abusive things about you.

5They are the ones who will have to answer for their behavior before the One who is prepared to judge all men, living or dead.

6That is why the dead also had the gospel preached to them. For although they must be condemned for the life they lived in the body of men, they might find life in the spirit by obeying God's will.

7We are near the end of all things now, and you should therefore be calm, selfcontrolled men of prayer.

8Above everything else be sure that you have real deep love for each other, remembering how love can cover a multitude of sins.

9Be hospitable to each lo other without secretly, wishing you hadn't got to be!

10Serve one another with the particular gifts God has given each of you, as faithful dispensers of the wonderfully varied grace of God.

11If any of you is a preacher then he should preach his message as from God. And in whatever way a man serves the Church he should do it recognizing the fact that God gives him his ability, so that God may be glorified in everything through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and power for ever, amen!

12And now, dear friends of mine. I beg you not to be unduly alarmed at the fiery ordeals which come to test your faith, as though this were some abnormal experience.

13You should be glad, because it means that you are sharing in Christ's sufferings. One day, when he shows himself in full splendor, you will be filled with the most tremendous joy.

14If you are reproached for being Christ's followers, that is a cause for joy, for you can be sure that God's Spirit of glory is resting upon you.

15But take care that none of your number suffers as a murderers, or a thief, a rogue or a busybody!

16If he suffers as a Christian he has nothing to be ashamed of and may glorify God by confessing Christ's name.

17The time has evidently arrived for God's judgment to begin, and it is beginning at his own household. And if it starts with us, what is it going to mean to those who refuse to obey the gospel of God?

18If even the good man is only just saved, what will be the fate of the wicked and the sinner?

19Therefore these who suffer according to God's will can safely commit their souls to their faithful Creator, and go on doing all the good they can.
