1 # Forasmuch then as <3767> Christ <5547> hath suffered <3958> (5631) for <5228> us <2257> in the flesh <4561>, arm <3695> (5669) yourselves <5210> likewise <2532> with the same <846> mind <1771>: for <3754> he that hath suffered <3958> (5631) in <1722> the flesh <4561> hath ceased <3973> (5769) from sin <266>;
2 That <1519> he <980> <0> no longer <3371> should live <980> (5658) the rest <1954> of his time <5550> in <1722> the flesh <4561> to the lusts <1939> of men <444>, but <235> to the will <2307> of God <2316>.
 - CHRONOS - TIME
3 For <1063> the time <5550> past <3928> (5756) of our life <979> may suffice <713> us <2254> to have wrought <2716> (5664) the will <2307> of the Gentiles <1484>, when we walked <4198> (5768) in <1722> lasciviousness <766>, lusts <1939>, excess of wine <3632>, revellings <2970>, banquetings <4224>, and <2532> abominable <111> idolatries <1495>:
 - CHRONOS - TIME
4 # Wherein <1722> <3739> they think it strange <3579> (5743) that ye <5216> run <4936> (5723) not <3361> with them to <1519> the same <846> excess <401> of riot <810>, speaking evil of <987> (5723) you:
5 Who <3739> shall give <591> (5692) account <3056> to him that is <2192> (5723) ready <2093> to judge <2919> (5658) the quick <2198> (5723) and <2532> the dead <3498>.
6 For <1063> for <1519> this cause <5124> was the gospel preached <2097> (5681) also <2532> to them that are dead <3498>, that <2443> they might be judged <2919> (5686) <3303> according to <2596> men <444> in the flesh <4561>, but <1161> live <2198> (5725) according to <2596> God <2316> in the spirit <4151>.
7 # But <1161> the end <5056> of all things <3956> is at hand <1448> (5758): be ye <4993> <0> therefore <3767> sober <4993> (5657), and <2532> watch <3525> (5657) unto <1519> prayer <4335>.
8 And <1161> above <4253> all things <3956> have <2192> (5723) fervent <1618> charity <26> among <1519> yourselves <1438>: for <3754> charity <26> shall cover <2572> (5692) the multitude <4128> of sins <266>.
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE - COMMANDMENTS
9 Use hospitality <5382> one to another <1519> <240> without <427> grudging <1112>.
10 As <2531> every man <1538> hath received <2983> (5627) the gift <5486>, even so minister <1247> (5723) the same <846> one to another <1519> <1438>, as <5613> good <2570> stewards <3623> of the manifold <4164> grace <5485> of God <2316>.
11 If any man <1536> speak <2980> (5719), let him speak as <5613> the oracles <3051> of God <2316> ; if any man <1536> minister <1247> (5719), let him do it as <5613> of <1537> the ability <2479> which <3739> God <2316> giveth <5524> (5719): that <2443> God <2316> in <1722> all things <3956> may be glorified <1392> (5747) through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to whom <3739> be <2076> (5748) praise <1391> and <2532> dominion <2904> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
12 # Beloved <27>, think it <3579> <0> not <3361> strange <3579> (5744) concerning the <5213> fiery trial <4451> which <1722> is <1096> (5740) to <4314> try <3986> you <5213>, as <5613> though some strange thing <3581> happened <4819> (5723) unto you <5213>:
 - PEIRAZO - TEST
13 But <235> rejoice <5463> (5720), inasmuch as <2526> ye are partakers <2841> (5719) of Christ's <5547> sufferings <3804>; that <2443>, when <1722> his <846> glory <1391> shall be revealed <602>, ye may be glad <5463> (5647) also <2532> with exceeding joy <21> (5740).
14 If <1487> ye be reproached <3679> (5743) for <1722> the name <3686> of Christ <5547>, happy <3107> are ye; for <3754> the spirit <4151> of glory <1391> and <2532> of God <2316> resteth <373> (5731) upon <1909> you <5209>: on <2596> <3303> their part <846> he is evil spoken of <987> (5743), but <1161> on <2596> your part <5209> he is glorified <1392> (5743).
 - CRITICISM
15 But <1063> let <3958> <0> none <3361> <5100> of you <5216> suffer <3958> (5720) as <5613> a murderer <5406>, or <2228> as a thief <2812>, or <2228> as an evildoer <2555>, or <2228> as <5613> a busybody in other men's matters <244>.
16 Yet <1161> if <1487> any man suffer as <5613> a Christian <5546>, let him <153> <0> not <3361> be ashamed <153> (5744); but <1161> let him glorify <1392> (5720) God <2316> on <1722> this <5129> behalf <3313>.
17 For <3754> the time <2540> is come that judgment <2917> must begin <756> (5670) at <575> the house <3624> of God <2316>: and <1161> if <1487> it first <4412> begin at <575> us <2257>, what <5101> shall the end <5056> be of them that obey not <544> (5723) the gospel <2098> of God <2316>?
 - KAIROS - TIME
18 And <2532> if <1487> the righteous <1342> scarcely <3433> be saved <4982> (5743), where <4226> shall <5316> <0> the ungodly <765> and <2532> the sinner <268> appear <5316> (5695)?
19 Wherefore <5620> <2532> let <3908> <0> them that suffer <3958> (5723) according to <2596> the will <2307> of God <2316> commit the keeping <3908> (5744) of their <1438> souls <5590> to him in <1722> well doing <16>, as <5613> unto a faithful <4103> Creator <2939>.
