The Lust of the Flesh - 1 Peter 4

1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the  flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he  that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 

1 Peter 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. 

1 Peter 4:3 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: 

1 Peter 4:4 Wherein they think it strange  that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot,  speaking evil of you: 

1 Peter 4:5 Who shall give account to him  that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 

1 Peter 4:6 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.  

1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore  sober, and watch unto prayer. 

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things  have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall  cover the multitude of sins. 

1 Peter 4:9 Use hospitality one to  another without grudging. 

1 Peter 4:10 As every man hath  received the gift, even so minister the same one to another,  as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 

1 Peter 4:11 If  any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any  man 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 be praise and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.   

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery  trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing  happened unto you: 

1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are  partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be  revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

1 Peter 4:14 If  ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for  the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part  he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 

1 Peter 4:15  But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or  as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.  

1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be  ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 

1 Peter 4:17 For  the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of  God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of  them that obey not the gospel of God? 

1 Peter 4:18 And if the  righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the  sinner appear? 

1 Peter 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer  according to the will of God commit the keeping of their  souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.  KJV
