  1. 8So don’t be embarrassed to testify about our Lord or for me, His prisoner. Join us in suffering for the good news by the strength and power of God. 12This is exactly why I am suffering. But I am not ashamed because I know Him and I have put my trust in Him. And I am fully certain that He has the ability to protect what I have placed in His care until that day.2 Timothy 1:8, 12

  2. 1Since the Anointed suffered in the flesh, prepare yourselves to do the same—anyone who has suffered in the flesh for the Lord is no longer in the grip of sin—2so that you may live the rest of your life on earth controlled not by earthly desires but by the will of God.1 Peter 4:1-2

  3. 3You have already wasted enough time living like those outsiders in the society around you: losing yourselves in sex, in addictions and desires, in drinking and lawless idolatry, in giving your time and allegiance to things that are not godly. 4When you don’t play the same games they do, they notice that you are living by different rules. That’s why they say such terrible things about you. 1 Peter 4:3-4

  4. 7We are coming to the end of all things, so be serious and keep your wits about you in order to pray more forcefully. 8Most of all, love each other steadily and unselfishly, because love makes up for many faults. 9Show hospitality to each other without complaint. 10Use whatever gift you’ve received for the good of one another so that you can show yourselves to be good stewards of God’s grace in all its varieties. 1 Peter 4:7-10

  5. 11If you’re called upon to talk, speak as though God put the words in your mouth; if you’re called upon to serve others, serve as though you had the strength of God behind you. In these ways, God may be glorified in all you do through Jesus the Anointed, to whom belongs glory and power, now and forever. Amen.1 Peter 4:11

  6. 3Because of the grace allotted to me, I can respectfully tell you not to think of yourselves as being more important than you are; devote your minds to sound judgment since God has assigned to each of us a measure of faith. 4For in the same way that one body has so many different parts, each with different functions; Romans 12:3-4

  7. 5we, too—the many—are different parts that form one body in the Anointed One. Each one of us is joined with one another, and we become together what we could not be alone. Romans 12:5

  8. 12Dear ones, don’t be surprised when you experience your trial by fire. It is not something strange and unusual, 13but it is something you should rejoice in. 1 Peter 4:12-13

  9. 1Now for the elders of the church. I want to encourage you. As you know, I am an elder, too, like you. I have witnessed firsthand the sufferings of the Anointed One as well as shared in the glories which are soon to be revealed. 2When you shepherd the flock God has given you, watch over them not because you have to but because you want to. 1 Peter 5:1-2

  10. 17Listen to your leaders and submit to their authority over the community, for they are on constant watch to protect your souls and someday they must give account. Give them reason to be joyful and not to regret their duty, for that will be of no good to you. Hebrews 13:17

  11. All of you should treat each other with humility, for as it says in Proverbs, God opposes the proud but offers grace to the humble.6So bow down under God’s strong hand; then when the time comes, God will lift you up. 7Since God cares for you, let Him carry all your burdens and worries.1 Peter 5:5-7

  12. 16I tell you the truth: a servant is not greater than the master. Those who are sent are not greater than the one who sends them. 17If you know these things, and if you put them into practice, you will find happiness.John 13:16-17

  13. 8Most importantly, be disciplined and stay on guard. Your enemy the devil is prowling around outside like a roaring lion, just waiting and hoping for the chance to devour someone. 9Resist him and be strong in your faith, knowing that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are fellow sufferers with you. 1 Peter 5:8-9

  14. 20Now may the God of peace, who brought the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, back from the dead through the blood of the new everlasting covenant, 21perfect you in every good work as you work God’s will. May God do in you only those things that are pleasing in His sight through Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, to whom we give glory always and forever.AmenHebrews 13:20-21
