New Testament

1 Peter 4:5-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. They will have to reckon with the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6. Indeed, this is the reason the good news was also preached to the dead. This happened so that, although they were judged as humans according to human standards, they could live by the Spirit according to divine standards.

7. The end of everything has come. Therefore, be self-controlled and clearheaded so you can pray.

8. Above all, show sincere love to each other, because love brings about the forgiveness of many sins.

9. Open your homes to each other without complaining.

10. And serve each other according to the gift each person has received, as good managers of God’s diverse gifts.
