講章 
聖經 1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
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.
9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

1 : 1 起初， 神創造天地。
1 : 2 地是空虛混沌，深淵上面一片黑暗； 神的靈 運行在水面上。
1 : 3 神說：「要有光」，就有了光。
1 : 4 神看光是好的，於是 神就把光和暗分開。
1 : 5 神稱光為「晝」，稱暗為「夜」。有晚上，有早晨，這是第一日。
1 : 6 神說：「眾水之間要有穹蒼，把水和水分開。」
1 : 7 神就造了穹蒼，把穹蒼以下的水和穹蒼以上的水分開。事就這樣成了。
1 : 8 神稱穹蒼為「天」。有晚上，有早晨，這是第二日。
1 : 9 神說：「天下面的水要聚集在一處，使乾地露出來。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 10 神稱乾地為「地」，稱聚集在一起的水為「海」。 神看為好的。
1 : 11 神說：「地要長出植物，就是含種子的五穀菜蔬，和會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，在地上各從其類。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 12 於是地長出了植物：含種子的五穀菜蔬，各從其類；會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 13 有晚上，有早晨，這是第三日。
1 : 14 神說：「天上要有光體來分晝夜，讓它們作記號，定季節、日子、年份，
1 : 15 它們要在天空發光，照在地上。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 16 於是 神造了兩個大光體，大的管晝，小的管夜，又造了星辰。
1 : 17 神把這些光體擺列在天空，照在地上，
1 : 18 管理晝夜，分別光暗。 神看為好的。
1 : 19 有晚上，有早晨，這是第四日。
1 : 20 神說：「水要滋生眾多有生命之物；要有鳥飛在地面以上，天空之中。」
1 : 21 神就創造了大魚和在水裏滋生的各樣活動的生物，各從其類，以及各樣有翅膀的鳥，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 22 神就賜福給這一切，說：「要繁殖增多，充滿在海的水裏；飛鳥也要在地上增多。」
1 : 23 有晚上，有早晨，這是第五日。
1 : 24 神說：「地要生出有生命之物，各從其類，就是牲畜、爬行動物、地上的走獸，各從其類。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 25 於是 神造了地上的走獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；和地上一切的爬行動物，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 26 神說：「我們要照着我們的形像，按着我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裏的魚、天空的鳥、地上的牲畜和全地，以及地上爬的一切爬行動物。」
1 : 27 神就照着他的形像創造人，照着 神的形像創造他們；他創造了他們，有男有女。
1 : 28 神賜福給他們， 神對他們說：「要生養眾多，遍滿這地，治理它；要管理海裏的魚、天空的鳥和地上各樣活動的生物。」
1 : 29 神說：「看哪，我把全地一切含種子的五穀菜蔬和一切會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，都賜給你們；這些都可作食物。
1 : 30 至於地上一切的走獸、天空一切的飛鳥，並一切在地上爬行的，有生命的動物，我把綠色植物賜給牠們作食物。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 31 神看一切所造的，看哪，都非常好。有晚上，有早晨，這是第六日。
