베드로전서 4
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
새로운 삶
4 그리스도께서 친히 몸으로 고난을 당하셨으니, 여러분도 그리스도와 같은 생각으로 단단히 무장을 하십시오. 몸으로 고난을 당한 사람은 이미 죄와 인연을 끊은 것입니다. 2 그러므로 그는 이 세상에서의 나머지 삶을 인간적인 악한 욕망을 위해 살지 않고, 하나님의 뜻을 위해 삽니다. 3 여러분은 지난날에 믿지 않는 사람들이 즐기는 일들을 하면서 오랫동안 살았습니다. 곧 방탕과 욕정과 술 취함과 환락과 연회와 술잔치와 역겨운 우상숭배 속에서 살았습니다. 4 여러분의 옛 친구들은 이제 여러분이 자기들과 같이 방탕한 생활에 휩쓸리지 않는 것을 이상히 여기면서 욕설을 퍼붓고 있습니다. 5 그러나 그들은 산 사람과 죽은 사람을 심판하실 분 앞에서 자기들이 한 짓을 모두 말씀드려야 할 것입니다. 6 그래서 죽은 이들에게까지도 기쁜 소식이 전해졌던 것입니다. 그것은 그들이, 몸으로는 모든 사람이 받는 심판을 받았으나, 영으로는 하나님께서 사신 것처럼 살게 하려는 것이었습니다.
하나님의 은혜를 잘 관리하는 사람이 되어라
7 모든 것의 끝이 가까웠습니다. 그러니 여러분은 정신을 차리고 자신을 잘 다스려서 기도에 힘쓰십시오. 8 무엇보다도 먼저 끊임없이 서로 사랑하십시오. 사랑은 많은 죄를 용서해 주기 때문입니다. 9 불평하지 말고 서로 따뜻하게 대접하십시오. 10 여러분은 하나님께 각기 다른 은혜의 선물을 받았습니다. 그리고 그 선물들을 관리하는 책임을 진 종들과 같습니다. 그러니 신실한 종들이 되어, 하나님께서 여러분에게 주신 갖가지 은혜의 선물을 가지고 서로에게 봉사하십시오. 11 설교하는 사람은 하나님의 말씀을 전하는 사람답게 하고, 봉사하는 사람은 하나님께서 주시는 힘을 받은 사람답게 일하십시오. 그리하여 무슨 일에든지 하나님께서 예수 그리스도를 통하여 영광을 받으시게 하십시오. 영광과 권능이 영원토록 그분께 있습니다. 아멘.
그리스도를 믿는 사람의 고통
12 사랑하는 여러분, 여러분이 지금 겪고 있는 시련의 불길에 놀라지 마십시오. 그것은 여러분을 시험하려는 것이니, 무슨 이상한 일이라도 생긴 것처럼 놀라지 마십시오. 13 오히려 여러분이 그리스도의 고난을 함께 나누게 된 것을 기뻐하십시오. 그러면 그분의 영광이 나타날 때에 여러분도 기뻐서 소리치게 될 것입니다. 14 여러분이 그리스도 때문에 모욕을 당하면, 여러분은 복 받은 것입니다. 영광스러운 하나님의 영이 여러분 위에 머무시기 때문입니다. 15 여러분 가운데서 살인자나 도둑이나 범죄자나 혹은 남의 일에 간섭하는 자가 되어 고통 받는 사람이 없도록 하십시오. 16 그러나 그리스도를 믿는 사람으로서 고통을 당하면 부끄러워하지 마십시오. 오히려 ‘그리스도의 사람’ 이라는 이름을 갖게 되었으니, 하나님께 영광을 돌리십시오. 17 심판이 시작될 때가 다가왔습니다. 심판은 하나님의 가족에 대한 심판으로 시작됩니다. 심판이 먼저 우리에게서 시작된다면, 하나님의 기쁜 소식에 순종하지 않는 사람들의 끝은 어떠하겠습니까?
18 “의로운 사람이 구원을 받는 것도 어렵다면
경건하지 못한 자와 죄인은 어떻겠습니까?”(A)
19 그러니 하나님의 뜻에 따라 고통을 당하는 사람은 신실하신 창조주 하나님께 자신을 맡기고, 끊임없이 선한 일을 해야 합니다.
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.

Names of God Bible
4 Since Christ has suffered physically, take the same attitude that he had. (A person who has suffered physically no longer sins.) 2 That way you won’t be guided by sinful human desires as you live the rest of your lives on earth. Instead, you will be guided by what God wants you to do. 3 You spent enough time in the past doing what unbelievers like to do. You were promiscuous, had sinful desires, got drunk, went to wild parties, and took part in the forbidden worship of false gods. 4 Unbelievers insult you now because they are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of wild living. 5 They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 After all, the Good News was told to people like that, although they are now dead. It was told to them so that they could be judged like humans in their earthly lives and live like God in their spiritual lives.
7 The end of everything is near. Therefore, practice self-control, and keep your minds clear so that you can pray. 8 Above all, love each other warmly, because love covers many sins. 9 Welcome each other as guests without complaining. 10 Each of you as a good manager must use the gift that God has given you to serve others. 11 Whoever speaks must speak God’s words. Whoever serves must serve with the strength God supplies so that in every way God receives glory through Yeshua Christ. Glory and power belong to Yeshua Christ forever and ever! Amen.
Share Christ’s Sufferings
12 Dear friends, don’t be surprised by the fiery troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don’t feel as though something strange is happening to you, 13 but be happy as you share Christ’s sufferings. Then you will also be full of joy when he appears again in his glory. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed because the Spirit of glory—the Spirit of God—is resting on you.
15 If you suffer, you shouldn’t suffer for being a murderer, thief, criminal, or troublemaker. 16 If you suffer for being a Christian, don’t feel ashamed, but praise God for being called that name. 17 The time has come for the judgment to begin, and it will begin with God’s family. If it starts with us, what will be the end for those who refuse to obey the Good News of God? 18 If it’s hard for the person who has God’s approval to be saved, what will happen to the godless sinner? 19 Those who suffer because that is God’s will for them must entrust themselves to a faithful creator and continue to do what is good.
1 Peter 4
New International Version
Living for God
4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body,(A) arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.(B) 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires,(C) but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past(D) doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.(E) 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.(F) 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.(G) 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead,(H) so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
7 The end of all things is near.(I) Therefore be alert and of sober mind(J) so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply,(K) because love covers over a multitude of sins.(L) 9 Offer hospitality(M) to one another without grumbling.(N) 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others,(O) as faithful(P) stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God.(Q) If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides,(R) so that in all things God may be praised(S) through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.(T)
Suffering for Being a Christian
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you(U) to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice(V) inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ,(W) so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.(X) 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ,(Y) you are blessed,(Z) for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.(AA) 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household;(AB) and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?(AC) 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a](AD)
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will(AE) should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
