| 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. | Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin). |
| But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. | The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. |
|
| And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. | Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. |
