{1st Peter 4:1} 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; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:2} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:3} 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:4} Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you: ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:5} Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:6} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:7} But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:8} And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:9} Use hospitality one to another without grudging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:10} As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:11} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:12} Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:13} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:14} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:15} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:16} Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:17} 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:18} And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{1st Peter 4:19} 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.
