1Therefore for Christ suffered in (the) flesh (And so because the Messiah suffered in the flesh), be ye also armed by the same thinking; for he that suffered in (the) flesh ceased from sins, 2that that is left now of (the) time in (the) flesh live not now to the desires of men, but to the will of God. 3For the time that is passed is enough to the will of (the) heathen men to be ended, which walked in lecheries, and lusts, in much drinking of wine, in unmeasurable, (or oft), eatings, and drinkings, and unleaveful worshipping of maumets, (or idols). (For the time that is passed was enough for the desires of the Gentiles to be done, or to be finished, yea, they who lived, or went, in lecheries, and lusts, in much drinking of wine, in immeasurable, or oft, eatings, and drinkings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.) 4In which now they be astonished, in which thing they wonder (about), for ye run not together (with them) into the same confusion of lechery, and (so they) blaspheme (thee) (and so they insult thee, or they vilify thee). 5And they shall give reason to him, that is ready to deem the quick and the dead. (But soon they shall have to give an answer to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.) 6 For why for this thing it is preached, (or it is evangelized), also to dead men, that they be deemed by men in (the) flesh, and that they live by God in (the) Spirit.

7For the end of all things shall nigh. Therefore be ye prudent, and wake ye in prayers; (For the end of everything shall approach, or it is near. And so be prudent, and be on watch, keep praying;) 8before all things have ye charity each to (the) other in yourselves always lasting; for charity covereth the multitude of sins. (above all, love one another always and earnestly; for love covereth a multitude of sins.) 9Hold ye hospitality together without grudging; (Have hospitality toward one another without grumbling;) 10each man as he hath received grace, ministering it into each other [ministering each to (the) other] (serving one another), as good dispensers of the manifold grace of God. 11If any man speaketh, speak he as the words of God; if any man ministereth, as of the virtue which God ministereth; (so) that God be honoured in all things by Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom is glory and lordship into worlds of worlds. Amen. (If anyone speaketh, speak he with the words of God; if anyone serveth, serve he with the strength which God supplieth; so that God be honoured in all things by Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom is glory and lordship forever and ever. Amen.)

12Most dear brethren, do not ye go in pilgrimage in fervor, that is made to you to temptation (that is made to test you), as if any new thing befall to you; 13but commune ye with the passions of Christ, and have ye joy (but share in the sufferings of the Messiah, and rejoice), (so) that also ye be glad, and have joy in the revelation of his glory. 14If ye be despised for the name of Christ, ye shall be blessed; for that that is of the honour, and of the glory, and of the virtue of God, and the Spirit that is his, shall rest on you. (If ye be despised for the name of the Messiah, ye shall be blessed; for that that is of the honour, and of the glory, and of the power of God, and the Spirit that is his, shall rest upon you.) 15But no man of you suffer as a manslayer, either a thief, either curser, either a desirer of other men's goods, (or things); 16but if he suffer as a christian man, shame he not (be he not ashamed), but glorify he God in this name. 17For (the) time is, that doom begin at God’s house; and if it begin first at us, what end shall be of them, that believe not to the gospel? (For it is now the time that judgement begin at God’s household; and if it begin first with us, what end shall be for those, who do not believe the Gospel, or the Good News?) 18And if a just man scarcely shall be saved, where shall the unfaithful man and the sinner appear? 19Therefore and they that suffer by the will of God, betake their souls in good deeds to the faithful Maker of nought. (And so let them who suffer by God’s will, deliver their souls through good deeds unto the faithful Maker of everything out of nothing.)
