1 Peter - douay rheims

Chapter 4

¹ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:
² That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh , not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
³ For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.
⁴ Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
⁵ Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
⁶ For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.
⁷ But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
⁸ But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
⁹ Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
¹⁰ As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
¹¹ If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
¹² Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
¹³ But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
¹⁴ If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.
¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things.
¹⁶ But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
¹⁷ For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?
¹⁸ And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
¹⁹ Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.

Chapter 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;
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.
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, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
⁴ In which they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
⁵ Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
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.
⁷ But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch to prayer.
⁸ And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity will cover a multitude of sins.
⁹ Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
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.
¹¹ If any man speaketh let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man ministereth 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.
¹² Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:
¹³ But rejoice, seeing ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
¹⁴ If ye are 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.
¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a busy-body in other men's matters.
¹⁶ Yet if any man suffereth as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
¹⁷ For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first beginneth at us, what will be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
¹⁸ And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?
¹⁹ Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.

Chapter 4

¹ then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
² you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
³ we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
⁴ think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:
⁵ will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
⁶ to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
⁷ the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
⁸ above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
⁹ hospitable to one another without grumbling.
¹⁰ each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
¹¹ anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
¹² don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
¹³ because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
¹⁴ you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
¹⁵ let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men's matters.
¹⁶ if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
¹⁷ the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God?
¹⁸ it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?"
¹⁹ let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

Chapter 4

¹ Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do *ye* also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,
² no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.
³ For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.
⁴ Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];
⁵ who shall render account to him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.
⁶ For to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after [the] flesh, but live, as regards God, after [the] Spirit.
⁷ But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;
⁸ but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;
⁹ hospitable one to another, without murmuring;
¹⁰ each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.
¹¹ If any one speak -- as oracles of God; if any one minister -- as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen.
¹² Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;
¹³ but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exultation.
¹⁴ If ye are reproached in [the] name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; for the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you: [on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.]
¹⁵ Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;
¹⁶ but if as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name.
¹⁷ For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God [is come]; but if first from us, what [shall be] the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?
¹⁸ And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and [the] sinner appear?
¹⁹ Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

⁴ wherein they think strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [of]:
⁵ who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
⁶ For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

⁸ above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

¹² Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:
¹³ but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
¹⁴ If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

Chapter 4

¹ So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;
² So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.
³ Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;
⁴ And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:
⁵ But they will have to give an account of themselves to him who is ready to be the judge of the living and the dead.
⁶ For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.
⁷ But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;
⁸ And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:
⁹ Keep open house for all with a glad heart;
¹⁰ Making distribution among one another of whatever has been given to you, like true servants of the unmeasured grace of God;
¹¹ If anyone has anything to say, let it be as the words of God; if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others, let him do it in the strength which is given by God; so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ, whose are the glory and the power for ever.
¹² Dear brothers, do not be surprised, as if it was something strange, if your faith is tested as by fire:
¹³ But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.
¹⁴ If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.
¹⁵ Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;
¹⁶ But if he undergoes punishment as a Christian, that is no shame to him; let him give glory to God in this name.
¹⁷ For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?
¹⁸ And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?
¹⁹ For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.
