Keep Fervent in Your Love

Therefore, since Christ has [fn]suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because the one who has [fn]suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:6 - For the gospel has for this purpose been [fn]preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as people, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

The end of all things [fn]is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of [fn]prayer.

Amen.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:12 -

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you;
