1 Peter 4:1–11

^aForasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us ^ain the flesh, ^barm yourselves likewise with the same ^cmind: for ^dhe that hath suffered in the flesh ^ehath ceased from sin; ^2fThat he no longer should live ^gthe rest of his time in the flesh to ^hthe lusts of men, but to ⁱthe will of God. ³For the time past of our life ^jmay suffice us ^fkto have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in ^llasciviousness, ^mlusts, excess of wine, ⁿrevellings, banquetings, and ^oabominable ^pidolatries: ⁴Wherein they ^qthink it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of ^rriot, ^sspeaking evil of you: ⁵Who shall ^tgive account to him that is ready ^uto judge the quick and the dead. ⁶For for this cause was the gospel preached also ^vto them that are dead, that they might be judged ^waccording to men in the flesh, but live ^xaccording to God in the spirit.

⁷But ^ythe end of all things is at hand: ^zbe ye therefore sober, and ^awatch ^bunto prayer. ⁸And above all things ^chave ^dfervent charity among yourselves: ^efor ^fcharity ^||shall cover the multitude of sins. ^9gUse hospitality one to another ^hwithout grudging. ¹⁰ⁱAs every man hath received the ^jgift, even so minister the same one to another, as good ^kstewards of ⁱthe manifold grace of God. ¹¹ⁱIf any man speak, let him speak as ^lthe oracles of God; if any man ^mminister, let him do it ⁿas of the ability which God giveth: that ^oGod in all things may be glorified ^pthrough Jesus Christ, ^qto whom be ^rpraise and ^rrdominion for ever and ever. Amen.
