Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has 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; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. | 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 love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” | Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. |
