¹ For asmuch then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the flesh, arme your selues likewise with the same minde: for hee that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceassed from sinne:

² That he no longer should liue 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 vs to haue wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciuiousnes, lusts, excesse of wine, reuellings, banquetings, and abhominable idolatries.

⁴ Wherein they thinke it strange, that you runne not with them to the same excesse of riot, speaking euil of you:

⁵ Who shal giue accompt to him that is ready to iudge the quicke & the dead.

⁶ For, for this cause was the Gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might bee iudged according to men in the flesh, but liue according to God in the spirit.

⁷ But the ende of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober and watch vnto prayer.

⁸ And aboue all things haue feruent charitie among your selues: for charity shall couer the multitude of sinnes.

⁹ Use hospitalitie one to another without grudging.

¹⁰ As euery man hath receiued the gift, euen so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

¹¹ If any man speake, let him speake as the oracles of God: if any man minister, let him doe it as of the ability which God giueth, that God in all things may bee glorified through Iesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for euer and euer. Amen.

¹² Beloued, thinke it not strange concerning the fiery triall, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened vnto you.

¹³ But reioyce in as much as yee are partakers of Christes sufferings; that when his glory shalbe reueiled, ye may be glad also with exceeding ioy.

¹⁴ If ye be reproched for the Name of Christ, happie are ye, for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: on their part hee is euill spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a theefe, or as an euill doer, or as a busibody in other mens matters.

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

¹⁷ For the time is come that iudgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at vs, what shall the ende bee of them that obey not the Gospel of God?

¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?

¹⁹ Wherfore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator.

I really liked the article and the sencerity of the bible verses associated with the text. But does this point of view experss the need and our earthly duty to serve each other. Keeping in mind that there are numerious denomations and we all praise the same Loed and Savior.

Lorraine's 1 Peter Chapter 4 comment on 3/19/2013, 3:04pm...

Human beings are very funny. They don't think that they should suffer. They will do anything to avoid suffering. They do not want to admit that suffering exists. Jesus Christ on the other hand, was the Son of God. He did not see suffering in the same way as we do, thank God! Jesus taught us: It is not IF you will suffer, but WHEN. St Peter picks up the same thread as St Paul does in Philippians: I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection by participation in His sufferings, becoming like him in his death. A person who has not suffered in his body can never really understand this. Until you HAVE suffered in your body you will continue to run away from suffering. God has a way of teaching us, though. No matter who you are or what you believe in, some day your body will give up on you, and then you will turn to God your maker, and He will be waiting to teach you HIS laws.

It gave me the break that I have been looking for; I always say: to defeat the enemy, you must know the scriptures.

Timothy Wayne George's 1 Peter Chapter 4 comment on 1/12/2013, 10:47am...

It is time for judgment to begin from the house of God, for if the righteous are scarcely saved, what hope have the ungodly? We must not suffer as murderers, thieves, or gossips. We must suffer as Jesus suffered, and commit our soul to Him. God will judge all those who falsely accuse you at the appearing of Jesus Christ. So walk in love, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Let’s be prayerful and watchful. Sound minded and wear the cloth of LOVE.

@Tina,
I think 1 Peter 4 gives us the right attitudes to life unsolved problems.
As we are sure that what we are after is the will of GOD for us, we should never give up, we must persevere, till the time GOD avails.
But we must also be alert, there are times when we most focus to the east, while in fact GOD is ready providing from the west,… so that should be period of live fellowship with GOD, to know what is really HIS will for us, in Christ Jesus.
So, stand firm and continue serving GOD with joy, and unashamed.
GOD bless you.

When nothing seems to go right. You try and try, then you try again, then it comes to you this must be a test of my character. How will I respond.

James's 1 Peter Chapter 4 comment about verse 12 on 3/14/2012, 7:44am...

We must have scriptural boundaries on our thinking when we are tried and tested to utmost, think of it only for what it is and do not associate it with anything or anyone else. It is victory in being tried by God, for your faith and trial are no mismatch.
