1 Peter 4:7-17

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Now, the end of all things is at hand. Therefore, be of sound mind, and watching in prayer.

⁸ But above all things, have fervent love among you. For love shall cover a multitude of sins.

⁹ Be hospitable one to another, without grumbling.

¹⁰ The same gifts which everyone has received, let us minister to each other as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

¹¹ If anyone speaks, let him speak as the words of God. If anyone ministers, let him do so as with the strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to Whom is praise and dominion, forever and ever. Amen.

¹² Dearly beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is among you (to test you), as though some strange thing had come to you.

¹³ But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings! So that when His Glory shall appear, you may be glad and rejoice!

¹⁴ If you are railed upon for the Name of Christ, you are blessed! For the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you (Who on their part is blasphemed, but on your part is glorified).

¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody.

¹⁶ But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed. But let him glorify God in this behalf.

¹⁷ For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God. If it first begins with us, what shall the end be of those who do not obey the Gospel of God?
