Book 60 : 1 PETER - Chapter 004
004:001
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
004:002
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
004:003
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of you
004:004
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick
and the dead
004:005
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
004:006
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober,
and watch unto prayer
004:007
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins
004:008
Use hospitality one to another without grudging
004:009
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same
one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God
004:010
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
004:011
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which
is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you
004:012
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
004:013
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
004:014
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
004:015
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed;
but let him glorify God on this behalf
004:016
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
004:017
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
ungodly and the sinner appear
004:018
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
