Read the New Testament in 24 Weeks

⁸ · ho · de Finally telos, all pas of you, be of one mind homophrōn, sympathetic sympathēs, loving your believing brothers philadelphos, compassionate eusplanchnos, humble tapeinophrōn— ⁹ not mē returning apodidōmi evil kakos for anti evil kakos or ē insult loidoria for anti insult loidoria, but de on the contrary blessing eulogeō, because hoti for eis this houtos you were called kaleō that hina you might inherit klēronomeō a blessing eulogia. ¹⁰ For gar “ The ho one who desires thelō to love agapaō life zōē and kai to see good agathos days hēmera, let him keep pauō his ho tongue glōssa from apo evil kakos and kai his lips cheilos from mē speaking laleō deceit dolos. ¹¹ And de let him turn away ekklinō from apo evil kakos and kai do poieō good agathos; let him seek zēteō peace eirēnē and kai pursue diōkō it autos. ¹² For hoti the eyes ophthalmos of the Lord kyrios are on epi the righteous dikaios, and kai his autos ears ous are open to eis their autos prayers deēsis; but de the face prosōpon of the Lord kyrios is against epi those who do poieō evil kakos.”

¹³ And kai who tis is the ho one who will harm kakoō you hymeis if ean you become ginomai zealots zēlōtēs for what ho is good agathos? ¹⁴ But alla even kai if ei you should suffer paschō because of dia righteousness dikaiosynē, blessed makarios are you. And de do phobeomai not mē fear phobeomai · ho their autos threats phobos or mēde be troubled tarassō, ¹⁵ but de · ho in en · ho your hymeis hearts kardia set apart hagiazō Christ Christos as Lord kyrios, being ready hetoimos at all times aei to make pros a defense apologia to all pas who ho ask aiteō you hymeis for a word logos concerning peri the ho hope elpis that is in en you hymeis. ¹⁶ But alla do it with meta gentleness prautēs and kai respect phobos, maintaining echō a clear agathos conscience syneidēsis, so that hina in en the very thing for which hos you are being slandered katalaleō, those ho who are reviling epēreazō your hymeis · ho good agathos conduct anastrophē in en Christ Christos will be put to shame kataischunō. ¹⁷ For gar it is better kreittōn to suffer paschō for doing good agathopoieō, if ei it is thelō · ho God’ s theos will thelēma, · ho than ē for doing evil kakopoieō. ¹⁸ Because hoti Christ Christos also kai suffered paschō once hapax for peri our sins hamartia, the righteous dikaios on behalf of hyper the unrighteous adikos, that hina he might lead prosagō you hymeis to ho God theos. He was put to death thanatoō in the flesh sarx but de made alive zōiopoieō in the spirit pneuma, ¹⁹ in en which hos also kai he kēryssō went poreuō and proclaimed kēryssō to the ho spirits pneuma in en prison phylakē, ²⁰ who once pote were disobedient apeitheō when hote the ho patience makrothumia of ho God theos waited apekdechomai in en the days hēmera of Noah Nōe while the ark kibōtos was being built kataskeuazō, in eis which hos a few oligos, that houtos is eimi eight oktō souls psychē, were brought safely diasōzō through dia water hydōr. ²¹ This water prefigures antitypos baptism baptisma, which hos · kai now nyn saves sōzō you hymeis— not ou the removal apothesis of dirt rhypos from the body sarx but alla the answer eperōtēma of a good agathos conscience syneidēsis to eis God theos— by dia the resurrection anastasis of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, ²² who hos is eimi at en the right hand dexios of ho God theos, having gone poreuō into eis heaven ouranos, all angels angelos and kai authorities exousia and kai powers dynamis being made subject hypotassō to him autos.

4 Therefore oun since Christ Christos suffered paschō in the flesh sarx, arm yourselves hoplizō also kai with the ho same autos way of thinking ennoia, that is, that hoti the ho one who has suffered paschō in the flesh sarx has finished pauō with sin hamartia, ² so that eis you no longer mēketi live bioō your ho remaining epiloipos days chronos in en the flesh sarx concerned about human anthrōpos desires epithumia but alla about the will thelēma of God theos. ³ For gar the ho time chronos already gone by parerchomai is enough arketos for you to have done what ho the ho pagans ethnos like boulēma to do katergazomai, carrying on poreuō in en sensuality aselgeia, passions epithumia, drunkenness oinophlygia, orgies kōmos, drinking parties potos, and kai disgusting athemitos worship of idols eidōlolatria. ⁴ In en all this hos, they are surprised xenizō that you hymeis do not mē plunge syntrechō with them into eis the ho same autos flood anachusis of ho debauchery asōtia, and they malign blasphēmeō you. ⁵ They hos will give apodidōmi an account logos to ho him who stands echō ready hetoimōs to judge krinō the living zaō and kai the dead nekros. ⁶ It was for eis this houtos very purpose · kai that the gospel was preached euangelizō to the dead nekros, so that hina though men they were judged krinō as kata men anthrōpos in the flesh sarx, they might live zaō · de as kata God theos in the Spirit pneuma.

⁷ The ho end telos of all things pas · de is at hand engizō, so oun use sound judgment sōphroneō and kai be sober-minded nēphō for eis the sake of prayer proseuchē. ⁸ Above pro all pas, · ho maintain echō a fervent ektenēs love agapē among eis yourselves heautou, for hoti love agapē covers kalyptō a multitude plēthos of sins hamartia. ⁹ Be hospitable philoxenos to eis one another allēlōn without aneu grumbling gongysmos. ¹⁰ Each one hekastos should serve diakoneō others heautou in respect to kathōs the gift charisma he has received lambanō, as hōs a good kalos steward oikonomos of charis the grace charis of God theos in its various forms poikilos: ¹¹ if ei someone tis speaks laleō, as hōs speaking the oracles logion of God theos; if ei someone tis serves diakoneō, as hōs by ek the strength ischus that hos God theos supplies chorēgeō · ho— so that hina in en everything pas God theos may be glorified doxazō · ho through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. To him hos belong eimi · ho glory doxa and kai · ho power kratos for eis all ho time aiōn ho. · ho Amen amēn.

¹² Dear friends agapētos, do not mē be surprised xenizō that a trial peirasmos by ho fire pyrōsis is taking place ginomai among en you hymeis, as hōs though something strange xenos were happening symbainō to you hymeis. ¹³ But alla rejoice chairō insofar katho as you now share koinōneō the ho sufferings pathēma of ho Christ Christos, so that hina when en · ho his autos glory doxa is revealed apokalypsis, · ho you may also kai rejoice chairō and be glad agalliaō. ¹⁴ If ei you are insulted oneidizō for en the name onoma of Christ Christos, you are blessed makarios, because hoti the ho Spirit of ho glory doxa, that is kai, the ho Spirit pneuma of ho God theos, is resting anapauō on epi you hymeis. ¹⁵ But gar not mē one tis of you hymeis should suffer paschō as hōs a murderer phoneus or ē a thief kleptēs or ē a criminal kakopoios or ē as hōs a meddler in the affairs of another allotriepiskopos; ¹⁶ but de if ei someone suffers as hōs a Christian Christianos, he should not mē be disgraced, but de should glorify doxazō · ho God theos by en · ho this houtos name onoma. ¹⁷ Because hoti the ho time kairos has come to begin archō · ho judgment krima with apo the ho house oikos of ho God theos, and de if ei first prōton with apo us hēmeis, what tis will be the ho outcome telos for those ho who do not obey apeitheō the ho gospel euangelion of ho God theos? ¹⁸ And kai “ If ei the ho righteous person dikaios is barely molis saved sōzō, what pou will become phainō of the ho ungodly asebēs and kai the sinner hamartōlos?” ¹⁹ So hōste then kai, let paratithēmi those ho who are suffering paschō according to kata the ho will thelēma of ho God theos by en doing good agathopoiia entrust paratithēmi their autos souls psychē to a faithful pistos Creator ktistēs. · ho

5 Therefore oun I , a ho fellow elder sympresbyteros and kai a witness martys of the ho sufferings pathēma of ho Christ Christos, and kai a ho partaker koinōnos of doxa the glory doxa that ho is about mellō to be revealed apokalyptō, exhort parakaleō the elders presbyteros among en you hymeis: ² shepherd poimainō the ho flock poimnion of ho God theos among en you hymeis, watching episkopeō over it— not mē because you have to anankastōs, but alla voluntarily hekousiōs, as kata God theos would have it; not mēde for shameful gain aischrokerdōs but alla eagerly prothumōs. ³ Do not mēde domineer katakyrieuō over those ho entrusted to your charge klēros, but alla be ginomai examples typos to the ho flock poimnion. ⁴ Then kai when the ho Chief Shepherd archipoimēn appears phaneroō, you will receive komizō the ho glorious doxa crown stephanos that will not tarnish amarantinos. · ho
