Bible. Peter, 1st
60:004:001 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh,
arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath
suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
60:004:002 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the
flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
60:004:003 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought
the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness,
lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable
idolatries:
60:004:004 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
60:004:005 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick
and the dead.
60:004:006 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that
are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the
flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
60:004:007 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober,
and watch unto prayer.
60:004:008 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
60:004:009 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
60:004:010 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same
one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
60:004:011 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any
man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God
giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus
Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.
60:004:012 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which
is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
60:004:013 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be
glad also with exceeding joy.
60:004:014 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for
the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part
he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
60:004:015 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as
an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
60:004:016 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed;
but let him glorify God on this behalf.
60:004:017 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of
God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of
them that obey not the gospel of God?
60:004:018 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
ungodly and the sinner appear?
