Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
4:2
ከመኢይሕየውእንከበፍትወተሥጋአላበፈቃዱለእግዚአብሔርይፈጽምተረፈሕይወቱበሥጋሁ።
你們存這樣的心,從今以後就可以不從人的情慾,只從上帝的旨意在世度餘下的光陰。
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
4:18
ወሶበጻድቅእምዕፁብይድኅንኃጥእወዐማፂበአይቴያስተርኢሀለዎ።
若是義人僅僅得救,那不虔敬和犯罪的人將有何地可站呢?
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
4:19
ወእለኒየሐምሙበእንተፈቃዱለእግዚአብሔርያማሕፅኑነፍሶሙኀበምእመንፈጣሪበገቢረሠናይ።
所以,那照上帝旨意受苦的人要一心為善,將自己靈魂交與那信實的造化之主。
Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
