American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
that {Or, he no longer…his time}ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:
wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same {Or, flood}excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
For unto this end {Or, were the good tidings preached}was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto {Greek: prayers.}prayer:
above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:
using hospitality one to another without murmuring:
But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having {Or, an eternal gospel}eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that {Greek: sit.}dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and {See marginal note on chapter 3:9}worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
A worthless man {Hebrew: diggeth.}deviseth mischief;And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
Hatred stirreth up strifes;But love covereth all transgressions.
And if thy brother sin {Some ancient authorities omit against thee.}against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
