[1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered in the flesh, arm likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered the flesh hath ceased from sin; [2] That 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 may suffice to have wrought of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: [4] Wherein they think it strange run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [5] Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. [6] For for 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: therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. [8] 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] speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; 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 praise and dominion for ever Amen.
