彼得前書 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1基督既在肉身受苦，你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器，因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪斷絕了。
1Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
2你們存這樣的心，從今以後就可以不從人的情慾，只從上帝的旨意在世度餘下的光陰。
2Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
3因為往日隨從外邦人的心意行邪淫、惡慾、醉酒、荒宴、群飲，並可惡拜偶像的事，時候已經夠了。
3For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
4他們在這些事上，見你們不與他們同奔那放蕩無度的路，就以為怪，毀謗你們。
4Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
5他們必在那將要審判活人死人的主面前交帳。
5But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6為此，就是死人也曾有福音傳給他們，要叫他們的肉體按着人受審判，他們的靈性卻靠上帝活着。
6That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7萬物的結局近了。所以，你們要謹慎自守，警醒禱告。
7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
8最要緊的是彼此切實相愛，因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。
8Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
9你們要互相款待，不發怨言。
9Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服事，作上帝百般恩賜的好管家。
10As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
11若有講道的，要按着上帝的聖言講；若有服事 人 的，要按着上帝所賜的力量服事，叫上帝在凡事上因耶穌基督得榮耀。 原來 榮耀、權能都是他的，直到永永遠遠。阿們！
11If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
12親愛的 弟兄 啊，有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪（似乎是遭遇非常的事），
12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13倒要歡喜；因為你們是與基督一同受苦，使你們在他榮耀顯現的時候，也可以歡喜快樂。
13But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14你們若為基督的名受辱罵，便是有福的；因為上帝榮耀的靈常住在你們身上。
14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15你們中間卻不可有人因為殺人、偷竊、作惡、好管閒事而受苦。
15Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16若為作基督徒受苦，卻不要羞恥，倒要因這名歸榮耀給上帝。
16But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
17因為時候到了，審判要從上帝的家起首。若是先從我們起首，那不信從上帝福音的人將有何等的結局呢？
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 disobey the gospel of God?
18若是義人僅僅得救，那不虔敬和犯罪的人將有何地可站呢？
18And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19所以，那照上帝旨意受苦的人要一心為善，將自己靈魂交與那信實的造化之主。
19So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
