1 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;
     2 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.
     3 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:
     4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not
    with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil
    of you:
     5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to
    judge the quick and the dead.
     6 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.
     7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye
    therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
     8 And above all things have fervent charity among
    yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude
    of sins.
     9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
    10 As every man hath received the gift, even so
    minister the same one to another, as good stewards
    of the manifold grace of God.
    11 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.
    12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the
    fiery trial which is to try you, as though some
    strange thing happened unto you:
    13 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.
    14 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.
    15 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.
    16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him
    not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this
    behalf.
    17 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?
    18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where
    shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
    19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the
    will of God commit the keeping of their souls to
    him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
