| 4:1 | Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; |
| 4:2 | That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. |
| 4:3 | For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: |
| 4:4 | Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: |
| 4:4 | 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． |
| 4:4 | 他们在这些事上，见你们不与他们同奔那放荡无度的路，就以为怪毁谤你们。 |
| eph:5:18 | And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |
| tit:1:6 | If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. |
| act:13:45 | But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. |
| 1pe:2:12 | Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. |

| 4:5 | Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. |
| 4:6 | For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. |
| 4:7 | But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. |
| 4:8 | And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. |
| 4:9 | Use hospitality one to another without grudging. |
| 4:10 | As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. |
| 4:11 | If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
| 4:12 | Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: |
| 4:13 | But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. |
| 4:14 | If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. |
| 4:15 | But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. |
| 4:16 | Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. |
| 4:17 | For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? |
| 4:18 | And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? |
| 4:19 | Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. |
