| [1]For as muche then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the fleshe, arme ye your selues lykewise with the same mynde: for he which suffereth in the fleshe, ceasseth from sinne |
[1]FORASMUCH then as Christ has suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves also with this very thought; he who subdues his body ceases from all sin; |
| [2]That he hence forwarde shoulde lyue, as much tyme as remayneth in ye fleshe, not after the lustes of men, but after the wyll of God |
[2]That he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. |
| [3]For it is sufficient for vs that we haue spent the tyme that is paste of the lyfe, after the wyll of the gentiles, walkyng in wantonnesse, lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatyng, in excesse of drynkyng, and abominable idolatrie |
[3]For the time past sufficed to have wrought the will of the pagans when you lived in lasciviousness, drunkenness, revellings, indecent singing, and worship of idols. |
| [4]And it seemeth to them an inconuenient thyng, that ye runne not also with them vnto the same excesse of riote, and therefore speake they euyll of you |
[4]And behold, they think it strange that you do not indulge with them in the past excesses, and they blaspheme against you. |
| [5]Whiche shall geue accomptes to hym that is redy to iudge quicke and dead |
[5]And they shall answer to God who is to judge the quick and the dead. |
| [6]For vnto this purpose veryly was the Gospel peached also vnto ye dead, that they shoulde be iudged lyke other men in the fleshe, but should lyue before God in the spirite |
[6]For, for this cause the gospel was preached also to those who are dead: that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, and live according to God in spirit. |
| [7]The ende of all thynges is at hande. Be ye therefore sober, and watche vnto prayer |
[7]But the end of all things is at hand: be devout therefore, and be mindful of prayer. |
| [8]But aboue all thynges, haue feruent loue among your selues: For loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes |
[8]And above all things have fervent charity towards one another: because charity covers a multitude of sins. |
| [9]Be ye harberous one to another, without grudgyng |
[9]Be hospitable to strangers without grudging. |
| [10]As euery man hath receaued the gyft, eue so minister the same one to another, as good ministers of the manifold grace of God |
[10]So let everyone of you according to the gift he has received from God, minister the same to your fellowmen, like good stewards of the manifold grace of God. |
| [11]If any man speake, [let hym talke] as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth vnto hym, that God in all thinges may be glorified through Iesus Christe, to whom be prayse and dominion for euer and euer. Amen |
[11]If any man preach, let him preach the word of God; and if any man minister, let him do it according to the ability which God has given him: so that in everything you do, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs glory and honour for ever and ever. Amen. |
| [12]Dearely beloued, thinke it not straunge concerning the fierie triall, which thing is to trye you, as though some straunge thyng happened vnto you |
[12]My beloved, do not think it strange at the trials that come upon you, as though some strange thing happened to you: because these things are to prove you. |
| [13]But reioyce, in as much as ye are partakers of Christes passions: that when his glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad |
[13]But rejoice, for you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; and when his glory shall be revealed you may be glad also with exceeding joy. |
| [14]Yf ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christe, happy are ye. For the spirite of glory and of God, resteth vpon you: On their part he is euyll spoken of, but on your part he is glorified |
[14]If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. |
| [15]See that none of you be punished as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euyll doer, or as a busie body in other mens matters |
[15]But let none of you suffer the fate of a murderer, or a thief, or a malefactor. |
| [16]Yf any [man suffer] as a Christian man, let hym not be ashamed, but let him glorifie God on this behalfe |
[16]If any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God through that very name. |
| [17]For the tyme is [come] that iudgement must begin at the house of God. Yf it first [begin] at vs, what shall the ende be of them whiche beleue not the Gospell of God |
[17]For the time is come that judgment must begin with the house of God: and if it first begins with us, what shall be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? |
| [18]And if the ryghteous scacely be saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare |
[18]And if the righteous scarcely be saved, how shall the wicked and the sinner stand judgment? |
| [19]Wherefore, let them that are troubled accordyng to the wyll of God, commit their soules to him with well doyng, as vnto a faythfull creatour |
[19]Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator. |
