1 Peter 4 Petrou A 4
1Christou oun ⸀pascharantou sarka kai vis tan autan ennoian hoplizevar, hoti tos ⸀pascharantos sarka pauotē ⸀hamartau,Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin. 2eis tem mēketi anthrōpoiu epithumiai alla thelēme theou ton epiloipon en sarka biara chronon.Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God. 3arketos ⸀gar tos parercharēntos ⸀chronos tem ⸀boulēmem teiu ethneiu ⸀katergazorē, poreuorēntoin en aselgeiai, epithumiai, oinoflugiai, kōmoi, potoi, kai athemitai eidōlolatriai.For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry. 4en he xenizolō mē suntrecharōntoiu vu eis tan autan tau asōtiau anachusian, blasfēmarōntois;Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you. 5hois apodōali logon to hetoimōs ⸂echarōnto krinara⸃ zōarōntoin kai nekroin;But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6eis houtem gar kai nekroi euangelizita hina krinileia men kata anthrōpoin sarka zōaleiō de kata theon pneume.That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 7Panteiu de tem telem engizatē. sōfronavar oun kai nēfavar ⸀eis proseuchain;The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray. 8pro ⸀panteiu tan eis heautoin agapan ektenan echarōntois, hoti agapas ⸀kaluptatō plēthem hamartaiu;Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9filoxenois eis allēloin aneu ⸀gongusmou;Show hospitality to one another without complaining. 10hekastos kathōs labata charismem, eis heautoin autem diakonarōntois hōs kalois oikonomois poikilau charitau theou;As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another. 11ei tinos lalatō, hōs logieim theou; ei tinos diakonatō, hōs ek ischuau ⸀hau chorēgatō tos theos; hina en pantei doxazoteiō tos theos dia Iēsu Christou, ho atō tas doxas kai tem kratem eis toin aiōnoin toiu aiōnoiu; amēn.If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. 12Agapētoir, mē xenizovōr ta en vi purōsia pros peirasmon vi genorōnta hōs xeneu vi sumbainarōnteu,Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13alla katho koinōnavō tei tou Christou pathēmei chairavōr, hina kai en ta apokalupsia tau doxau autou chairiveia agalliorōntois.But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory. 14ei oneidizovō en onome Christou, makariois, hoti tem tau doxau kai tem tou theou pneumem epi vin ⸀anapauotō.If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15mē gar tinos vu paschatōr hōs fonevos ē kleptos ē kakopoios ē hōs allotriepiskopos;Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler. 16ei de hōs Christianos, mē aischunotōr, doxazatōr de ton theon en te ⸀onome houte.But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name. 17hoti tos kairos teu archera tem krimem apo tou oikou tou theou; ei de prōtem apo nu, tinem tem telem toiu apeitharōntoiu te tou theou euangelie?For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God? 18kai ei tos dikaios molis sōzotō, ⸀tos asebos kai hamartōlos pou faneti?And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” 19hōste kai tois pascharōntois kata tem thelēmem tou ⸀theou pisto ktisto paratitholōr tain psuchain ⸀autoiu en agathopoia.So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
