6. For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.
7. But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
8. But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
9. Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
10. As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11. If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
12. Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
13. But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
14. If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.
15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things.
