Good Stewards of God’s Grace

4Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin),G3767G5547G3958G5228G2257G4561G3695G5210G2532G846G1771G3754G3958G1722G4561G3973G266 2so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God.G1519G980G3371G980G1954G5550G1722G4561G1939G444G235G2307G2316 3You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.G1063G5550G3928G979G713G2254G2716G2307G1484G4198G1722G766G1939G3632G2970G4224G2532G111G1495 4They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation, and so they blaspheme.G1722G3739G3579G5216G4936G3361G1519G846G401G810G987 5But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.G3739G591G3056G2192G2093G2919G2198G2532G3498 6For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged, they might live in the spirit as God does.G1063G1519G5124G2097G2532G3498G2443G2919G3303G2596G444G4561G1161G2198G2596G2316G4151 7The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers.G1161G5056G3956G1448G4993G3767G4993G2532G3525G1519G4335 8Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.G1161G4253G3956G2192G1618G26G1519G1438G3754G26G2572G4128G266 9Be hospitable to one another without complaining.G5382G1519G240G427G1112 10Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.G2531G1538G2983G5486G1247G846G1519G1438G5613G2570G3623G4164G5485G2316 11Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.G1536G2980G5613G3051G2316G1536G1247G5613G1537G2479G3739G2316G5524G2443G2316G1722G3956G1392G1223G2424G5547G3739G2076G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Suffering as a Christian

12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.G27G3579G3361G3579G5213G4451G1722G1096G4314G3986G5213G5613G3581G4819G5213 13But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed.G235G5463G2526G2841G5547G3804G2443G1722G846G1391G602G5463G2532G21 14If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the Spirit of God, is resting on you.G1487G3679G1722G3686G5547G3107G3754G4151G1391G2532G2316G373G1909G5209G2596G3303G846G987G1161G2596G5209G1392 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, a criminal, or even as a mischief maker.G1063G3958G3361G5100G5216G3958G5613G5406G2228G2812G2228G2555G2228G5613G244 16Yet if any of you suffers as a Christian, do not consider it a disgrace, but glorify God because you bear this name.G1161G1487G5613G5546G153G3361G153G1161G1392G2316G1722G5129G3313 17For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; if it begins with us, what will be the end for those who do not obey the gospel of God?G3754G2540G2917G756G575G3624G2316G1161G1487G4412G575G2257G5101G5056G544G2098G2316 18And "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinners?"G2532G1487G1342G3433G4982G4226G5316G765G2532G268G5316 19Therefore, let those suffering in accordance with God's will entrust themselves to a faithful Creator, while continuing to do good.G5620G2532G3908G3958G2596G2307G2316G3908G1438G5590G1722G16G5613G4103G2939
