| [1]Χριστοῦ οὖν ⸀παθόντος σαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ ⸀παθὼν σαρκὶ πέπαυται ⸀ἁμαρτίας, |
[1]If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins, |
| [2]εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις ἀλλὰ θελήματι θεοῦ τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον. |
[2]that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but [only] to do the pleasure of God. |
| [3]ἀρκετὸς ⸀γὰρ ὁ παρεληλυθὼς ⸀χρόνος τὸ ⸀βούλημα τῶν ἐθνῶν ⸀κατειργάσθαι, πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις. |
[3]For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons. |
| [4]ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν, βλασφημοῦντες· |
[4]And lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness; |
| [5]οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ⸂ἔχοντι κρῖναι⸃ ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς· |
[5]who must give account to God, who is to judge the living and the dead. |
| [6]εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη ἵνα κριθῶσι μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκὶ ζῶσι δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι. |
[6]For on this account the announcement is made also to the dead, that they may be judged as persons in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit. |
| [7]Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικεν. σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε ⸀εἰς προσευχάς· |
[7]But the end of all things approacheth: therefore be sober, and be wakeful for prayer. |
| [8]πρὸ ⸀πάντων τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι ἀγάπη ⸀καλύπτει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν· |
[8]And above all things, have fervent love one towards another; for love covereth a multitude of sins. |
| [9]φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ἄνευ ⸀γογγυσμοῦ· |
[9]And be ye compassionate to strangers, without murmuring. |
| [10]ἕκαστος καθὼς ἔλαβεν χάρισμα, εἰς ἑαυτοὺς αὐτὸ διακονοῦντες ὡς καλοὶ οἰκονόμοι ποικίλης χάριτος θεοῦ· |
[10]And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being good stewards of the manifold grace of God. |
| [11]εἴ τις λαλεῖ, ὡς λόγια θεοῦ· εἴ τις διακονεῖ, ὡς ἐξ ἰσχύος ⸀ἧς χορηγεῖ ὁ θεός· ἵνα ἐν πᾶσιν δοξάζηται ὁ θεὸς διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν. |
[11]Whoever will speak, let him speak as the word of God: and whoever will minister, as of the ability that God hath given him: so that in all ye do, God may be glorified, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom belongeth glory, and honor, for ever and ever. Amen. |
| [12]Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ ξενίζεσθε τῇ ἐν ὑμῖν πυρώσει πρὸς πειρασμὸν ὑμῖν γινομένῃ ὡς ξένου ὑμῖν συμβαίνοντος, |
[12]My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation. |
| [13]ἀλλὰ καθὸ κοινωνεῖτε τοῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθήμασιν χαίρετε, ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι. |
[13]But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory. |
| [14]εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, μακάριοι, ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ⸀ἀναπαύεται. |
[14]And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon you. |
| [15]μὴ γάρ τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεὺς ἢ κλέπτης ἢ κακοποιὸς ἢ ὡς ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος· |
[15]Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer. |
| [16]εἰ δὲ ὡς Χριστιανός, μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ ⸀ὀνόματι τούτῳ. |
[16]But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this name. |
| [17]ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρίμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφʼ ἡμῶν, τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ; |
[17]For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? |
| [18]καὶ εἰ ὁ δίκαιος μόλις σῴζεται, ⸀ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται; |
[18]And if the righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found! |
| [19]ὥστε καὶ οἱ πάσχοντες κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ ⸀θεοῦ πιστῷ κτίστῃ παρατιθέσθωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς ⸀αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ. |
[19]Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the pleasure of God, commend their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator. |
