1 Peter 4:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
2
so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.
3
For the time already past is sufficient
for you
to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of indecent behavior, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries.
4
In
all
this, they are surprised that you do not run with
them
in the same excesses of debauchery, and they slander
you;
5
but they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6
For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as people, they may live in the spirit according to
the will of
God.
7
The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober
spirit
for the purpose of prayer.
8
Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
King James Version
Chapter 4
2
That he 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 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:
4
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6
For 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.
7
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
2
in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God’s will.
3
For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the Gentiles choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.
4
They are surprised that you don’t join them in the same flood of wild living—and they slander you.
5
They will give an account to the one who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.
6
For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so that, although they might be judged in the flesh according to human standards, they might live in the spirit according to God’s standards.
7
The end of all things is near; therefore, be alert and sober-minded for prayer.
8
Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since
love covers a multitude of sins.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
2
You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.
3
You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy — their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.
4
Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you.
5
But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead.
6
That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead — so although they were destined to die like all people, they now live forever with God in the Spirit.
7
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers.
8
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
2
so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.
3
For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
4
With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you;
5
but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6
For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
7
The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
8
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
New International Version
Chapter 4
2
As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
3
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
4
They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.
5
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6
For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
7
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.
8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
2
that he no longer should live the rest of
his
time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
3
For we
have spent
enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.
4
In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with
them
in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of
you.
5
They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6
For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who 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 be serious and watchful in your prayers.
8
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
