1 PEDRO 4

Bekatuzko lehengo biziera baztertu

1 Beraz, Kristok bere gorputzean sufritu zuenez, hartu zuek ere armatzat pentsaera berbera, jakinik gorputzean sufritut duenak bekatuarekiko lotura hautsi egin duela, 2 mundu honetan gelditzen zaizkion egunetan Jainkoak nahi bezala bizitzeko, eta ez giza grinen arabera. 3 Nahiko denbora egin duzue lehen ere jentilen erara biziz: lasaikeria eta biziotan, jan-edan eta mozkorkerian, eta idolatria gaitzesgarritan.t 4 Orain, jentilak harritu egiten dira eta irainka ari zaizkizue, beren biziera txarreko gehiegikerietan ez duzuelako parte hartzen. 5 Baina kontuak eman beharko dizkiote biziak eta hilak epaitzeko prestt dagoenari.

6 Horregatik hots egin zitzaien berri ona hildakoei eret, gizakiari dagokion epaia gorputzean hartu ondoren, Espirituaren indarrez Jainkoaren biziaz bizi zitezen.

Hurbil da azkena. Elkarte-bizitza

11 Hitz egiteko dohaina duenak adieraz dezala Jainkoaren hitza. Zerbitzuren bat duenakt bete dezala Jainkoak ematen dion indarraz, gauza guztietan Jainkoa goratua izan dadin Jesu Kristoren bidez. Beroni aintza eta ahalmena menderen mendetan! Amen.

Poztu erasoaldietan

18 Zintzoa nekeztsalbatzen bada, zer izango ote da gaiztoez eta bekatariez?t
19 Beraz, Jainkoak hala nahirik sufritzen dutenek jar dezatela beren burua leiala den Egilearen eskuetant , on egiteari utzi gabe.

1 Peter 4

1 So, since Christ suffereds in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same attitude, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin,s2 in that he spends the rest of his timet on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.3 For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non-Christianst desire.t You lived thent in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts,t and wanton idolatries.t4 Sot they are astonishedt when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you.t5 They will face a reckoning beforet Jesus Christt who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 Now it was for this very purposet that the gospel was preached to those who are now dead,s so that thought they were judged in the flesht by human standardst they may live spirituallyt by God’s standards.t

Service, Suffering, and Judgment

7 For the culmination of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of prayer.t8 Above all keept your love for one another fervent,t because love covers a multitude of sins.s9 Show hospitalityt to one another without complaining.10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one anothert as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

11 Whoever speaks, let it be witht God’s words.t Whoever serves, do so with the strengtht that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongt the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
12 Dear friends, do not be astonishedt that a trial by fire is occurring among you,t as though something strange were happening to you.13 But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealedt you may also rejoice and be glad.t14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory,s who is the Spirit of God,trestss on you.15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or as a troublemaker.t16 But if you suffer as a Christian,t do not be ashamed, but glorifyt God that you bear such a name.t17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the houset of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fatet of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become oftthe ungodly and sinners?ts

19 So then let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator as they do good.t
