4:1  
    [kjv]  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;
    [bbe]  So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;
4:2  
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.
4:3  
    [kjv]  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:
    [bbe]  Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;
4:4
    [kjv]  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

    [kjv]  Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
    [bbe]  But they will have to give an account of themselves to him who is ready to be the judge of the living and the dead.
4:6  
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.
4:7  
    [kjv]  But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
    [bbe]  But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;
4:8  
    [kjv]  And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
    [bbe]  And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:
4:9
    [kjv]  Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
    [bbe]  Keep open house for all with a glad heart;
4:10 [
    [kjv]  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
    [bbe]  Making distribution among one another of whatever has been given to you, like true servants of the unmeasured grace of God;
