Stewards of God’s Grace

4Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,G3767G5547G3958G5228G2257G4561G3695G5210G2532G846G1771G3754G3958G1722G4561G3973G266 2so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.G1519G980G3371G980G1954G5550G1722G4561G1939G444G235G2307G2316 3For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.G1063G5550G3928G979G713G2254G2716G2307G1484G4198G1722G766G1939G3632G2970G4224G2532G111G1495 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you;G1722G3739G3579G5216G4936G3361G1519G846G401G810G987 5but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.G3739G591G3056G2192G2093G2919G2198G2532G3498 6For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.G1063G1519G5124G2097G2532G3498G2443G2919G3303G2596G444G4561G1161G2198G2596G2316G4151 7The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.G1161G5056G3956G1448G4993G3767G4993G2532G3525G1519G4335 8Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.G1161G4253G3956G2192G1618G26G1519G1438G3754G26G2572G4128G266 9Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.G5382G1519G240G427G1112 10As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:G2531G1538G2983G5486G1247G846G1519G1438G5613G2570G3623G4164G5485G2316 11whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.G1536G2980G5613G3051G2316G1536G1247G5613G1537G2479G3739G2316G5524G2443G2316G1722G3956G1392G1223G2424G5547G3739G2076G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Suffering as a Christian

12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.G27G3579G3361G3579G5213G4451G1722G1096G4314G3986G5213G5613G3581G4819G5213 13But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.G235G5463G2526G2841G5547G3804G2443G1722G846G1391G602G5463G2532G21 14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.G1487G3679G1722G3686G5547G3107G3754G4151G1391G2532G2316G373G1909G5209G2596G3303G846G987G1161G2596G5209G1392 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.G1063G3958G3361G5100G5216G3958G5613G5406G2228G2812G2228G2555G2228G5613G244 16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.G1161G1487G5613G5546G153G3361G153G1161G1392G2316G1722G5129G3313 17For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?G3754G2540G2917G756G575G3624G2316G1161G1487G4412G575G2257G5101G5056G544G2098G2316 18And "If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"G2532G1487G1342G3433G4982G4226G5316G765G2532G268G5316 19Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.G5620G2532G3908G3958G2596G2307G2316G3908G1438G5590G1722G16G5613G4103G2939
