1 Peter 4:4-5:14 in which they are surprised, you not running with them into the same overflow of unsavedness, blaspheming;

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ in which they are surprised, you not running with them into the same overflow of unsavedness, blaspheming; ⁵ who will give account to Him having readiness to judge the living and dead. ⁶ For to this end also the gospel was preached to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit. ⁷ But the end of all things has drawn near. Be of sound mind, then, and be sensible to prayers; ⁸ and above all things having fervent love to yourselves, "because love will cover a multitude of sins." Prov. 10:12 ⁹ Be hospitable to one another without murmurings, ¹⁰ each one as he received a gift, ministering it to yourselves as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ¹¹ If anyone speaks, let it be as the words of God; if anyone ministers, as by strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom is the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen. ¹² Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial happening among you for your testing, as if a surprise were occurring to you; ¹³ but according as you share the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; so that you may rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His glory. ¹⁴ If you are reviled in the name of Christ, you are blessed, because "the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you." Truly, according to them, He is blasphemed; but according to you, He is glorified. Isa. 11:2 ¹⁵ For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in the affairs of others. ¹⁶ But if one suffers as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but to glorify God in this respect. ¹⁷ Because the time has come to begin the judgment from the house of God; and if firstly from us, what will be the end of the ones disobeying the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And "if the righteous is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?" Prov. 11:31 ¹⁹ So as indeed the ones suffering according to God's will, as to a faithful Creator, let them commit their souls in well-doing. ⁵ ¹ I, a fellow elder, exhort the elders among you, I being also witness of the sufferings of Christ, and being sharer of the glory about to be revealed: ² Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; nor eagerly for base gain, but readily; ³ nor as exercising lordship over the ones allotted to you, but becoming examples of the flock. ⁴ And at the appearing of the Chief Shepherd, you will receive the never fading crown of glory. ⁵ Likewise, younger ones be subject to older ones; and all being subject to one another. Put on humility, because God sets Himself "against proud ones, but He gives grace to humble ones." Prov. 3:34 ⁶ Then be humbled under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in time; ⁷ "casting all your anxiety onto Him," because it matters to Him concerning you. LXX-Psa. 54:23; MT-Psa. 55:22 ⁸ Be sensible, watch, because your adversary the Devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour; ⁹ whom firmly resist in the faith, knowing the same sufferings are being completed in your brotherhood in the world. ¹⁰ Now the God of all grace, the One calling you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, you having suffered a little, He Himself will perfect, confirm, strengthen, establish you . ¹¹ To Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen. ¹² I wrote to you by a few words by way of Silvanus the faithful brother, as I reckon, exhorting and witnessing this to be the true grace of God, in which you stand. ¹³ The fellow-elected in Babylon greet you; also Mark my son. ¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you, all those in Christ Jesus. Amen.
