彼得前书 4

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

要有受苦的心志

4 基督既然在肉身受過苦，你們也應當以同樣的心志裝備自己（因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪斷絕了）， ²好叫你們不再隨從人的私慾，只順從　神的旨意，在世上度餘下的光陰。 ³因為你們過去隨從教外人的心意，行邪淫、私慾、醉酒、荒宴、狂飲和可憎拜偶像的事，時候已經夠了。 ⁴他們見你們不再與他們同奔那縱情放蕩的路，就覺得奇怪，毀謗你們。 ⁵他們必要向那位預備要審判活人死人的主交帳。 ⁶因此，那些死人也曾有福音傳給他們，好使他們的肉體受了人要受的審判，他們的靈卻靠　神活著。

按照恩賜彼此服事

⁷萬物的結局近了，所以你們要謹慎警醒地禱告。 ⁸最重要的是要彼此切實相愛，因為愛能遮蓋許多的罪。 ⁹你們要互相接待，不發怨言。 ¹⁰你們要作　神各樣恩賜的好管家，各人照著所領受的恩賜彼此服事。 ¹¹講道的，應當按著　神的聖言講；服事的，應當按著　神所賜的力量服事，為要在一切事上，使　神藉耶穌基督得榮耀。榮耀、權能都是他的，直到永永遠遠。阿們。

為基督受苦的有福了

¹²親愛的，有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪，好像是遭遇非常的事， ¹³倒要歡喜，因為你們既然在基督的受苦上有分，就在他榮耀顯現的時候，可以歡喜快樂。 ¹⁴你們要是為基督的名受辱罵，就有福了！因為　神榮耀的靈，住在你們身上。 ¹⁵你們中間不可有人因為殺人、或偷竊、或行惡、或好管閒事而受苦。 ¹⁶如果因為作基督徒而受苦，不要以為羞恥，倒要藉著這名字榮耀　神。 ¹⁷因為審判從　神的家開始，就在這時候了。如果先從我們起頭，那不信從　神福音的人，結局將要怎樣呢？

¹⁸“如果義人僅僅得救，

不敬虔和犯罪的人，又會變成怎樣呢（“不敬虔和犯罪的人，又會變成怎樣呢？”直譯作“不敬虔的人和犯罪的人將出現在何處呢？”）？”

¹⁹所以那順著　神的旨意而受苦的人，要繼續地行善，把自己的生命交託那信實的創造者。

1 Peter 4

English Standard Version

Stewards of God's Grace

4 Since therefore ^(A)Christ suffered in the flesh,^[a] ^(B)arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for ^(C)whoever has suffered in the flesh ^(D)has ceased from sin, ²^(E)so as to live for ^(F)the rest of the time in the flesh ^(G)no longer for human passions but ^(H)for the will of God. ³For the time that is past ^(I)suffices ^(J)for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. ⁴With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of ^(K)debauchery, and ^(L)they malign you; ⁵but they will give account to him who is ready ^(M)to judge the living and the dead. ⁶For this is why ^(N)the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.

⁷^(O)The end of all things is at hand; therefore ^(P)be self-controlled and sober-minded ^(Q)for the sake of your prayers. ⁸Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since ^(R)love covers a multitude of sins. ⁹^(S)Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. ¹⁰^(T)As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, ^(U)as good stewards of God's varied grace: ¹¹whoever speaks, as one who speaks ^(V)oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves ^(W)by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything ^(X)God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. ^(Y)To him belong glory and ^(Z)dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Suffering as a Christian

¹²Beloved, do not be surprised at ^(AA)the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. ¹³But rejoice ^(AB)insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad ^(AC)when his glory is revealed. ¹⁴^(AD)If you are insulted ^(AE)for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory^[b] and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵But ^(AF)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or ^(AG)as a meddler. ¹⁶Yet ^(AH)if anyone suffers as a ^(AI)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God ^(AJ)in that name. ¹⁷For it is time for judgment ^(AK)to begin at the household of God; and ^(AL)if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who ^(AM)do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸And

^(AN)“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”^[c]

¹⁹Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will ^(AO)entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
