Keep Fervent in Your Love

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:1 -

Therefore, since Christ has [fn]suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because the one who has [fn]suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:2 - so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:3 - For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, [fn]having pursued a course of indecent behavior, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:4 - In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them in the same excesses of [fn]debauchery, and they slander you;
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:5 - but they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:6 - For the gospel has for this purpose been [fn]preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as people, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:7 -

The end of all things [fn]is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of [fn]prayer.

Amen.

Share the Sufferings of Christ

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:12 -

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you;

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:13 - but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that at the revelation of His glory you may also rejoice and be overjoyed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:14 - If you are insulted [fn]for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:15 - Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a [fn]troublesome meddler;
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:16 - but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:17 - For it is time for judgment to begin [fn]with the household of God; and if it begins [fn]with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:18 - AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, [fn]WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:19 - Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God are to entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.
