彼得前书 4
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
神恩赐的好管家
4 既然基督在肉身受苦，你们也该将这样的心志作为兵器，因为在肉身受过苦的已经与罪断绝了， 2 使你们从今以后不再随从人的情欲，只顺从 神的旨意，在世度余下的光阴。 3 因为你们从前随从外邦人的心意，生活在淫荡、情欲、醉酒、荒宴、狂饮和可憎的偶像崇拜中，时候已经够了。 4 在这些事上，他们见你们不与他们同奔放荡无度的路就以为怪，毁谤你们。 5 他们必须在那位将要审判活人死人的主面前交账。 6 为此，死人也曾有福音传给他们，要使他们的肉体按着人受审判，他们的灵却靠 神活着。
7 万物的结局近了。所以你们要谨慎自守，要警醒祷告。 8 最要紧的是彼此切实相爱，因为爱能遮掩许多的罪。 9 你们要互相款待，不发怨言。 10 人人要照自己所得的恩赐彼此服事，作 神各种恩赐的好管家。 11 若有人讲道，他要按着 神的圣言讲；若有人服事，他要按着 神所赐的力量服事，好让 神在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀。愿荣耀和权能都归给他，直到永永远远。阿们！
基督徒的受苦
12 亲爱的，有火一般的考验临到你们，不要奇怪，似乎是遭遇非常的事； 13 倒要欢喜，因为你们是与基督一同受苦，使你们在他荣耀显现的时候也可以欢喜快乐。 14 你们若为基督的名受辱骂是有福的，因为荣耀的灵，就是 神的灵，在你们身上。 15 你们中间，不可有人因为杀人、偷窃、作恶、好管闲事而受苦。 16 若有人因是基督徒而受苦，不要引以为耻，倒要因这名而归荣耀给 神。 17 因为时候到了，审判要从 神的家开始；若是先从我们开始，那么，不信从 神福音的人将有何等的结局呢？
18 “若是义人还仅仅得救，
不虔敬和犯罪的人将有何地可站呢？”
19 所以，照 神旨意受苦的人要一心为善，将自己的灵魂交给那信实的造物主。
彼得前书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
生活的改变
4 既然基督曾在肉身上为你们受苦，你们也要怀着同样的心志，因为肉体受过苦的人已经与罪断绝了关系， 2 可以在今后的生活中不再随从人的私欲，只服从上帝的旨意。 3 你们从前长期沉溺于异教徒的嗜好——淫乱、纵欲、醉酒、狂欢、宴乐和可憎的偶像崇拜。 4 如今你们不再和他们同流合污，他们觉得奇怪，就用恶言毁谤你们。 5 但他们将来必须向审判活人和死人的主交账。 6 正因如此，福音也曾传给已死的人。这样，他们的肉体虽然像世人一样受了审判，他们的灵魂却可以靠上帝活着。
恩典的好管家
7 万物的尽头快到了。因此，你们要谨慎自律，警醒祷告。 8 最重要的是要彼此真诚相爱，因为爱可以遮盖许多罪。 9 要互相接待，不发怨言， 10 按着自己所得的恩赐彼此服侍，做上帝各样恩典的好管家。 11 能讲道的，要按着上帝的话去讲；能服侍人的，要本着上帝所赐的力量去服侍。这样，上帝会借着耶稣基督在一切的事上得到荣耀。
愿荣耀和权能都归于祂，直到永永远远。阿们！
以受苦为荣
12 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，若有火一般的试炼临到你们，不要觉得奇怪，以为发生了什么不寻常的事， 13 反倒要欢喜，因为你们是与基督一起受苦。这样，你们在祂的荣耀显现时可以和祂一同欢喜快乐。 14 如果你们为基督的缘故受辱骂，就有福了！因为上帝荣耀的灵常住在你们身上。 15 你们谁也不可因杀人、偷盗、作恶或管闲事而受苦。 16 若是为了做基督徒而受苦，不要觉得羞耻，要因这身份归荣耀给上帝。 17 因为时候到了，审判要先从上帝的家开始。如果审判要从我们开始，那些不信从上帝福音的人会有怎样的结局呢？ 18 如果义人得救尚且不易，不敬虔的人和罪人会有什么下场呢？ 19 所以，照上帝旨意受苦的人要继续专心行善，将自己的灵魂交托给那位信实的造物主。
1 Peter 4
King James Version
4 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;
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.
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 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
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.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
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.
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.
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
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.
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.
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.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
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?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
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.
1 Peter 4
New King James Version
Christ’s Example to Be Followed
4 Therefore, since Christ suffered [a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, (A)but for the will of God. 3 For we have spent enough of our past [b]lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready (B)to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this reason (C)the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but (D)live according to God in the spirit.
Serving for God’s Glory
7 But (E)the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for (F)“love will cover a multitude of sins.” 9 (G)Be hospitable to one another (H)without grumbling. 10 (I)As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, (J)as good stewards of (K)the manifold grace of God. 11 (L)If anyone speaks, let him speak as the [c]oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that (M)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the [d]dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Suffering for God’s Glory
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice (N)to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that (O)when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are [e]reproached for the name of Christ, (P)blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [f]On their part He is blasphemed, (Q)but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a [g]busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this [h]matter.
17 For the time has come (R)for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, (S)what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 Now
(T)“If the righteous one is scarcely saved,
Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God (U)commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
