Living for God

4Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.G3767G5547G3958G5228G2257G4561G3695G5210G2532G846G1771G3754G3958G1722G4561G3973G266 2As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.G1519G980G3371G980G1954G5550G1722G4561G1939G444G235G2307G2316 3For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.G1063G5550G3928G979G713G2254G2716G2307G1484G4198G1722G766G1939G3632G2970G4224G2532G111G1495 4They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you.G1722G3739G3579G5216G4936G3361G1519G846G401G810G987 5But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.G3739G591G3056G2192G2093G2919G2198G2532G3498 6For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.G1063G1519G5124G2097G2532G3498G2443G2919G3303G2596G444G4561G1161G2198G2596G2316G4151 7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.G1161G5056G3956G1448G4993G3767G4993G2532G3525G1519G4335 8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.G1161G4253G3956G2192G1618G26G1519G1438G3754G26G2572G4128G266 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.G5382G1519G240G427G1112 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.G2531G1538G2983G5486G1247G846G1519G1438G5613G2570G3623G4164G5485G2316 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.G1536G2980G5613G3051G2316G1536G1247G5613G1537G2479G3739G2316G5524G2443G2316G1722G3956G1392G1223G2424G5547G3739G2076G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Suffering for Being a Christian

12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.G27G3579G3361G3579G5213G4451G1722G1096G4314G3986G5213G5613G3581G4819G5213 13But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.G235G5463G2526G2841G5547G3804G2443G1722G846G1391G602G5463G2532G21 14If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.G1487G3679G1722G3686G5547G3107G3754G4151G1391G2532G2316G373G1909G5209G2596G3303G846G987G1161G2596G5209G1392 15If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.G1063G3958G3361G5100G5216G3958G5613G5406G2228G2812G2228G2555G2228G5613G244 16However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.G1161G1487G5613G5546G153G3361G153G1161G1392G2316G1722G5129G3313 17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be 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 sinner?"G2532G1487G1342G3433G4982G4226G5316G765G2532G268G5316 19So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.G5620G2532G3908G3958G2596G2307G2316G3908G1438G5590G1722G16G5613G4103G2939
