St. Peter on suffering

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;
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....

But the end of all things is at hand:
be ye therefore sober,
and watch unto prayer.

And above all things
have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

As every man hath received the gift,
even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

If any man speak,
let him speak as the oracles of God;
if any man minister,
let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:
that God in all things may be glorified
through Jesus Christ,
to whom be praise and dominion
for ever and ever. Amen.
