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.

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.

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.

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

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.

8Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

10As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.

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.

12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.

13But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.

14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

15Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.

16But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.

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?
18ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲑⲱⲛ.
18And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

19So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
