1 Peter 4:1-11

Noyes(i) 1 Christ then having suffered in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after the will of God. 3 For sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, carousings, and abominable idolatries; 4 at which they are astonished 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 to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit. 7 But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins. 9 Be hospitable to one another without grudging. 10 According as each one hath received a gift, minister the same to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If any one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
