Keep
Fervent in Your Love |
|
|
 |
|
1 Peter 4:1
|
|
Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the
flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered
in the flesh has ceased from sin, |
|
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:2
|
|
so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh
no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:3
|
|
For the time already past is sufficient for
you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of
sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:4
|
|
In all this, they are surprised that you do
not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;
|
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:5
|
|
but they will give account to Him who is ready
to judge the living and the dead. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:6
|
|
For the gospel has for this purpose been preached
even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they
may live in the spirit according to the will of God. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:7
|
|
The end of all things is near; therefore, be
of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:8
|
|
Above all, keep fervent in your love for one
another, because love covers a multitude of sins. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:9
|
|
Be hospitable to one another without complaint.
|
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:10
|
|
As each one has received a special gift, employ
it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:11
|
|
Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking
the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the
strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through
Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Share the Sufferings of Christ |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:12
|
|
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal
among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing
were happening to you; |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:13
|
|
but to the degree that you share the sufferings
of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you
may rejoice with exultation. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:14
|
|
If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you
are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:15
|
|
Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer,
or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:16
|
|
but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is
not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:17
|
|
For it is time for judgment to begin with the
household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for
those who do not obey the gospel of God? |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:18
|
|
AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS
IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER? |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 4:19
|
|
Therefore, those also who suffer according to
the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what
is right. |
