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. 3 For 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. 4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of (K)debauchery, and (L)they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is ready (M)to judge the living and the dead. 6 For 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. 8 Above 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: 11 whoever 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
12 Beloved, 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. 13 But 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. 15 But (AF)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or (AG)as a meddler. 16 Yet (AH)if anyone suffers as a (AI)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God (AJ)in that name. 17 For 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? 18 And
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will (AO)entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Bagong Buhay
4 Dahil naghirap si Cristo sa katawang-tao niya, dapat ay handa rin kayong maghirap. Sapagkat hindi na gumagawa ng kasalanan ang taong nagtitiis ng hirap. 2 Hindi na siya sumusunod sa masasama niyang ugali kundi sumusunod na siya sa kalooban ng Dios. 3 Kaya huwag na ninyong gawin ang mga ginagawa nʼyo noon, ang mga bagay na gustong gawin ng mga taong hindi kumikilala sa Dios. Puno ng kahalayan ang buhay nʼyo noon at sinunod nʼyo ang nasa ng inyong laman. Palagi kayong nagtitipon-tipon para mag-inuman at gumagawa ng mga bagay na kahiya-hiya. At sa pagsamba ninyo sa inyong mga dios-diosan, kung anu-ano pang masasamang bagay ang ginagawa ninyo. 4 Pero nagtataka ngayon sa inyo ang mga taong hindi kumikilala sa Dios kung bakit hindi na kayo nakikisama sa magulo at maluho nilang pamumuhay. Kaya nagsasalita sila ng masama sa inyo. 5 Ngunit mananagot sila sa Dios sa ginagawa nila, dahil hahatulan ng Dios ang lahat ng tao, buhay man o patay. 6 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ipinangaral ang Magandang Balita sa mga taong patay na. Nang sa ganoon, kahit patay na sila sa laman, at mahatulan tulad ng lahat ng tao, mabubuhay pa rin sila sa espiritu gaya ng Dios.
Gamitin Ninyo ang Kaloob na Ibinigay ng Dios
7 Malapit na ang katapusan ng mundo. Kaya pigilan ninyo ang sarili nʼyo para hindi kayo makagawa ng masama at nang walang maging hadlang sa mga panalangin ninyo. 8 Higit sa lahat, magmahalan kayo nang tapat. Sapagkat kung mahal mo ang kapwa mo, mapapatawad mo siya kahit gaano pa karami ang nagawa niyang kasalanan. 9 Tanggapin ninyo sa inyong tahanan ang isaʼt isa nang maluwag sa puso. 10 Binigyan ng Dios ang bawat isa sa atin ng kaloob. Gamitin natin ito para sa ikabubuti ng lahat bilang mabubuting katiwala ng ibaʼt ibang kaloob ng Dios. 11 Ang binigyan ng kaloob sa pangangaral ay dapat mangaral ng salita ng Dios. At ang binigyan ng kaloob para maglingkod ay dapat maglingkod ayon sa kakayahang ibinigay sa kanya ng Dios, upang mapapurihan ang Dios sa lahat ng ginagawa natin sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo. Makapangyarihan siya at karapat-dapat purihin magpakailanman! Amen.
Ang Pagtitiis Bilang Cristiano
12 Mga minamahal, huwag kayong magtaka sa mabibigat na pagsubok na nararanasan ninyo. Kapag sinusubok ang inyong pananampalataya, huwag ninyong isipin kung ano na ang mangyayari sa inyo. 13 Sa halip, magalak kayo dahil nakikibahagi kayo sa mga hirap ni Cristo. At magiging lubos ang kagalakan nʼyo kapag naipakita na niya ang kapangyarihan niya sa lahat. 14 Kaya kung iniinsulto kayo dahil mga tagasunod kayo ni Cristo, mapalad kayo dahil nasa inyo ang makapangyarihang Espiritu, ang Espiritu ng Dios. 15 Kung pinarusahan man kayo, sanaʼy hindi dahil nakapatay kayo ng tao, o nagnakaw, o nakagawa ng masama, o kayaʼy nakialam sa ginagawa ng iba. 16 Ngunit kung pinarusahan kayo dahil Cristiano kayo, huwag kayong mahiya; sa halip ay magpasalamat kayo sa Dios dahil tinatawag kayo sa pangalang ito. 17 Dumating na ang panahong magsisimula na ang Dios sa paghatol sa mga anak niya. At kung itoʼy magsisimula sa atin na mga anak niya, ano kaya ang sasapitin ng mga hindi sumusunod sa Magandang Balita ng Dios? 18 Tulad ng sinasabi sa Kasulatan,
“Kung ang mga matuwid ay halos hindi maligtas, ano pa kaya ang mangyayari sa mga makasalanan at hindi kumikilala sa Dios?”[a]
19 Kaya kayong nagtitiis ngayon, dahil ito ang kalooban ng Dios para sa inyo, ay magpatuloy sa paggawa ng mabuti. Ipagkatiwala ninyo ang sarili nʼyo sa Dios na lumikha sa inyo, dahil hinding-hindi niya kayo pababayaan.

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.
