\subsection{I Peter 4}
|
|
\VS{1} Christ therefore having suffered in our behalf in [the] flesh, arm yourselves
|
|
with the same thought\footnote{or ``knowledge'', ``insight''}, that the
|
|
[one] having suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
|
|
\VS{2} that [he] should no
|
|
longer live [his] remaining time in the flesh for the lusts of men but for the
|
|
will of God.
|
|
\VS{3} For the time passed by [is] enough to be working the
|
|
intention of the nations, having walked in excess, in lusts, drunkenness,
|
|
partying, carousing, and lawless idolatry,
|
|
\VS{4} in which they are
|
|
surprised you do not run with [them] in the same flood of dissipation, slandering
|
|
[you],
|
|
\VS{5} who will give reason to the [one] ready to judge [the] zoe-living\fnZoe{} and the dead.
|
|
\VS{6} For this [cause] was it good-newsed to the dead, in order that they on the
|
|
one hand be judged according to men in [the] flesh, but on the other hand zoe-live\fnZoe{}
|
|
according to God in [the] spirit.
|
|
\VS{7} But the end of everything is at hand. Be
|
|
serious, therefore, and sober minded in prayer.
|
|
\VS{8} And before
|
|
everything, [be] having earnest agape-love among yourselves, because agape-love
|
|
covers [a] multitude of sins.
|
|
\VS{9} [be] hospitable to one another without complaint,
|
|
\VS{10} just as each has received [a] gift\footnote{from GRACE},
|
|
[be] serving [the] same to them as good managers of the varied\footnote{same word the Septuagint uses in Genesis for Joseph's \underline{multi-colored} coat.}
|
|
grace of God.
|
|
\VS{11} If anyone speaks, [let him speak] as the utterances of God, if anyone
|
|
serves, [let him serve] as from the strength which God supplies, in order that God be
|
|
glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the strength to the
|
|
eternity of eternities, Amen.
|
|
|
|
\VS{12} Agape-beloved, be not being surprised by the firey ordeal among you
|
|
which is become your test, as though [a] surprising [thing] is happening to you.
|
|
\VS{13} But be rejoicing, since you are sharing with the sufferings of
|
|
Christ, in order that in the revelation of his glory you rejoice exulting.
|
|
\VS{14} If you are reproached for the name of Christ, [You are] blessed, for the
|
|
spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
|
|
\VS{15} For
|
|
let\fnImperative{} not anyone be suffering as murderer or thief or
|
|
evil-doer or as busybody\footnote{meaning uncertain. Could also mean
|
|
``concealer of stolen goods" (i.e. a ``fence") or ``spy"};
|
|
\VS{16} But if as
|
|
Christians, let\fnImperative{} him not be being ashamed, but
|
|
let\fnImperative{} him be glorifying God in this name.
|
|
\VS{17} For [it is]
|
|
the opportune-time\fnKairos{} for judgment to begin with the house of God. So if it
|
|
first [be] with us, what [is] the end of those disobedient to the good-news of God?
|
|
\VS{18} And if the just be scarcely saved, where will the irreverent and the
|
|
sinful appear?
|
|
\VS{19} So, let\fnImperative{} those suffering
|
|
according to the will of God commit their psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} in well-doing to [the]
|
|
trustworthy creator.
