Following Christ

4Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same resolve— because the One who suffered in the flesh has finished with sin—G3767G5547G3958G5228G2257G4561G3695G5210G2532G846G1771G3754G3958G1722G4561G3973G266
2in order to live the remaining time in the flesh, no longer for human desires, but for God's will.G1519G980G3371G980G1954G5550G1722G4561G1939G444G235G2307G2316
3For there has already been enough time spent in doing the will of the pagans: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.G1063G5550G3928G979G713G2254G2716G2307G1484G4198G1722G766G1939G3632G2970G4224G2532G111G1495
4In regard to this, they are surprised that you don't plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation— and they slander you.G1722G3739G3579G5216G4936G3361G1519G846G401G810G987
5They will give an account to the One who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.G3739G591G3056G2192G2093G2919G2198G2532G3498
6For this reason the gospel was also preached to [those who are now] dead, so that, although they might be judged by men in the fleshly realm, they might live by God in the spiritual realm.G1063G1519G5124G2097G2532G3498G2443G2919G3303G2596G444G4561G1161G2198G2596G2316G4151

End-Time Ethics

7Now the end of all things is near; therefore, be clear-headed and disciplined for prayer.G1161G5056G3956G1448G4993G3767G4993G2532G3525G1519G4335
8Above all, keep your love for one another at full strength, since love covers a multitude of sins.G1161G4253G3956G2192G1618G26G1519G1438G3754G26G2572G4128G266
9Be hospitable to one another without complaining.G5382G1519G240G427G1112
10Based on the gift they have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God.G2531G1538G2983G5486G1247G846G1519G1438G5613G2570G3623G4164G5485G2316
11If anyone speaks, [his speech should be] like the oracles of God; if anyone serves, [his service should be] from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.G1536G2980G5613G3051G2316G1536G1247G5613G1537G2479G3739G2316G5524G2443G2316G1722G3956G1392G1223G2424G5547G3739G2076G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Christian Suffering

12Dear friends, when the fiery ordeal arises among you to test you, don't be surprised by it, as if something unusual were happening to you.G27G3579G3361G3579G5213G4451G1722G1096G4314G3986G5213G5613G3581G4819G5213
13Instead, as you share in the sufferings of the Messiah rejoice, so that you may also rejoice with great joy at the revelation of His glory.G235G5463G2526G2841G5547G3804G2443G1722G846G1391G602G5463G2532G21
14If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.G1487G3679G1722G3686G5547G3107G3754G4151G1391G2532G2316G373G1909G5209G2596G3303G846G987G1161G2596G5209G1392
15None of you, however, should suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a meddler.G1063G3958G3361G5100G5216G3958G5613G5406G2228G2812G2228G2555G2228G5613G244
16But if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God with that name.G1161G1487G5613G5546G153G3361G153G1161G1392G2316G1722G5129G3313
17For the time has come for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?G3754G2540G2917G756G575G3624G2316G1161G1487G4412G575G2257G5101G5056G544G2098G2316
18And if the righteous is saved with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?G2532G1487G1342G3433G4982G4226G5316G765G2532G268G5316
19So those who suffer according to God's will should, in doing good, entrust themselves to a faithful Creator.G5620G2532G3908G3958G2596G2307G2316G3908G1438G5590G1722G16G5613G4103G2939
