彼得前書 4

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)

不可從人的情慾只從神的旨意

4 基督既在肉身受苦，你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器，因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪斷絕了。 ²你們存這樣的心，從今以後就可以不從人的情慾，只從神的旨意在世度餘下的光陰。 ³因為往日隨從外邦人的心意，行邪淫、惡慾、醉酒、荒宴、群飲並可惡拜偶像的事，時候已經夠了。 ⁴他們在這些事上見你們不與他們同奔那放蕩無度的路，就以為怪，毀謗你們。 ⁵他們必在那將要審判活人死人的主面前交帳。 ⁶為此，就是死人也曾有福音傳給他們，要叫他們的肉體按著人受審判，他們的靈性卻靠神活著。

愛能遮罪

⁷萬物的結局近了，所以你們要謹慎自守，警醒禱告。 ⁸最要緊的是彼此切實相愛，因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。 ⁹你們要互相款待，不發怨言。 ¹⁰各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服侍，做神百般恩賜的好管家。 ¹¹若有講道的，要按著神的聖言講；若有服侍人的，要按著神所賜的力量服侍，叫神在凡事上因耶穌基督得榮耀——原來榮耀、權能都是他的，直到永永遠遠！阿們。

與基督一同受苦倒要歡喜

¹²親愛的弟兄啊，有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪，似乎是遭遇非常的事； ¹³倒要歡喜，因為你們是與基督一同受苦，使你們在他榮耀顯現的時候，也可以歡喜快樂。 ¹⁴你們若為基督的名受辱罵，便是有福的，因為神榮耀的靈常住在你們身上。 ¹⁵你們中間卻不可有人因為殺人、偷竊、作惡、好管閒事而受苦。 ¹⁶若為做基督徒受苦，卻不要羞恥，倒要因這名歸榮耀給神。 ¹⁷因為時候到了，審判要從神的家起首。若是先從我們起首，那不信從神福音的人將有何等的結局呢？ ¹⁸「若是義人僅僅得救，那不虔敬和犯罪的人將有何地可站呢？」 ¹⁹所以，那照神旨意受苦的人要一心為善，將自己靈魂交於那信實的造化之主。

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, ²that 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. ³For 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. ⁴In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. ⁵They will give an account to Him who is ready ^(B)to judge the living and the dead. ⁶For 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

⁷But ^(E)the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. ⁸And 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

¹²Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; ¹³but 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. ¹⁴If 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. ¹⁵But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a ^[g]busybody in other people’s matters. ¹⁶Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this ^[h]matter.

¹⁷For 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? ¹⁸Now

^(T)“If the righteous one is scarcely saved,
Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

¹⁹Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God ^(U)commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

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;

²That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

³For 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:

⁴Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

⁵Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

⁶For 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.

⁷But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

⁸And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

⁹Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

¹⁰As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

¹¹If 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.

¹²Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

¹³But 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.

¹⁴If 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.

¹⁵But 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.

¹⁶Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

¹⁷For 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?

¹⁸And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹⁹Wherefore 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.
