Keep Fervent in Your Love

4Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,G3767G5547G3958G5228G2257G4561G3695G5210G2532G846G1771G3754G3958G1722G4561G3973G266 2so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.G1519G980G3371G980G1954G5550G1722G4561G1939G444G235G2307G2316 3For the time already past is sufficient [for you] to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.G1063G5550G3928G979G713G2254G2716G2307G1484G4198G1722G766G1939G3632G2970G4224G2532G111G1495 4And in [all] this, they are surprised that you do not run with [them] into the same excess of dissipation, and they malign [you];G1722G3739G3579G5216G4936G3361G1519G846G401G810G987 5but they shall give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.G3739G591G3056G2192G2093G2919G2198G2532G3498 6For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to [the will of] God.G1063G1519G5124G2097G2532G3498G2443G2919G3303G2596G444G4561G1161G2198G2596G2316G4151 7The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober [spirit] for the purpose of prayer.G1161G5056G3956G1448G4993G3767G4993G2532G3525G1519G4335 8Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.G1161G4253G3956G2192G1618G26G1519G1438G3754G26G2572G4128G266 9Be hospitable to one another without complaint.G5382G1519G240G427G1112 10As each one has received a [special] gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.G2531G1538G2983G5486G1247G846G1519G1438G5613G2570G3623G4164G5485G2316 11Whoever speaks, [let him speak,] as it were, the utterances of God; whoever serves, [let him do so] as by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.G1536G2980G5613G3051G2316G1536G1247G5613G1537G2479G3739G2316G5524G2443G2316G1722G3956G1392G1223G2424G5547G3739G2076G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Share the Sufferings of Christ

12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;G27G3579G3361G3579G5213G4451G1722G1096G4314G3986G5213G5613G3581G4819G5213 13but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.G235G5463G2526G2841G5547G3804G2443G1722G846G1391G602G5463G2532G21 14If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.G1487G3679G1722G3686G5547G3107G3754G4151G1391G2532G2316G373G1909G5209G2596G3303G846G987G1161G2596G5209G1392 15By no means let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;G1063G3958G3361G5100G5216G3958G5613G5406G2228G2812G2228G2555G2228G5613G244 16but if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but in that name let him glorify God.G1161G1487G5613G5546G153G3361G153G1161G1392G2316G1722G5129G3313 17For [it is] time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if [it begins] with us first, what [will be] the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?G3754G2540G2917G756G575G3624G2316G1161G1487G4412G575G2257G5101G5056G544G2098G2316 18AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?G2532G1487G1342G3433G4982G4226G5316G765G2532G268G5316 19Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.G5620G2532G3908G3958G2596G2307G2316G3908G1438G5590G1722G16G5613G4103G2939
