New Testament

1 Peter 4

1Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

χριστου ουν παθοντος υπερ ημων σαρκι και υμεις την αυτην εννοιαν οπλισασθε, οτι ο παθων [εν] σαρκι πεπαυται αμαρτιας,

2that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

εις το μηκετι ανθρωπων επιθυμιαις, αλλα θεληματι θεου τον επιλοιπον εν σαρκι βιωσαι χρονον.

3For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

αρκετος γαρ υμιν ο παρεληλυθως χρονος του βιου το θελημα των εθνων κατεργασασθαι, πεπορευμενους εν ασελγειαις, επιθυμιαις, οινοφλυγιαις, κωμοις, ποτοις και αθεμιτοις ειδωλολατριαις.

4In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

εν ω ξενιζονται μη συντρεχοντων υμων εις την αυτην της ασωτιας αναχυσιν, βλασφημουντες·

5They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

οι αποδωσουσιν λογον τω ετοιμως εχοντι κριναι ζωντας και νεκρους.

6For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

εις τουτο γαρ και νεκροις ευηγγελισθη, ινα κριθωσιν μεν κατα ανθρωπους σαρκι, ζωσιν δε κατα θεον πνευματι.

7But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

παντων δε το τελος ηγγικεν. σωφρονησατε ουν και νηψατε εις τας προσευχας·

8And above all things have fervent love for one another, for 'love will cover a multitude of sins.'

προ παντων δε την εις εαυτους αγαπην εκτενη εχοντες, οτι [η] αγαπη καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων·

9Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

φιλοξενοι εις αλληλους ανευ γογγυσμων·

10As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

εκαστος καθως ελαβεν χαρισμα, εις εαυτους αυτο διακονουντες ως καλοι οικονομοι ποικιλης χαριτος θεου·

11If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

ει τις λαλει, ως λογια θεου· ει τις διακονει, ως εξ ισχυος, ως χορηγει ο θεος· ινα εν πασιν δοξαζηται ο θεος δια ιησου χριστου, ω εστιν η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

12Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

αγαπητοι, μη ξενιζεσθε τη εν υμιν πυρωσει προς πειρασμον υμιν γινομενη, ως ξενου υμιν συμβαινοντος,

13but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

αλλα καθο κοινωνειτε τοις του χριστου παθημασιν, χαιρετε, ινα και εν τη αποκαλυψει της δοξης αυτου χαρητε αγαλλιωμενοι.

14If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

ει ονειδιζεσθε εν ονοματι χριστου, μακαριοι, οτι το της δοξης και δυναμεως και το του θεου πνευμα εφ υμας αναπαυεται· κατα μεν αυτους βλασφημειται, κατα δε υμας δοξαζεται.

15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.

μη γαρ τις υμων πασχετω ως φονευς η κλεπτης η κακοποιος η ως αλλοτριοεπισκοπος·

16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

ει δε ως χριστιανος, μη αισχυνεσθω, δοξαζετω δε τον θεον εν τω μερει τουτω.

17For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

οτι ο καιρος του αρξασθαι το κριμα απο του οικου του θεου· ει δε πρωτον αφ ημων, τι το τελος των απειθουντων τω του θεου ευαγγελιω;

18Now 'If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?'

και ει ο δικαιος μολις σωζεται, ο ασεβης και αμαρτωλος που φανειται;

19Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

ωστε και οι πασχοντες κατα το θελημα του θεου, ως πιστω κτιστη παρατιθεσθωσαν τας ψυχας αυτων εν αγαθοποιια.
