G3588–ὁ–ho

But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

τὸν ton “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”τῷ tō “who”τῆς tēs “the”

Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

οἱ hoi “those”τὴν tēn “<the>”

Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “in the”

By whom he went to the spirits in prison, preaching to those

τοῖς tois “to the”

Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water:

ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

τοῦ tou “<the>”

So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”

So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.

τὸ to “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:

τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

But they will have to give an account of themselves to him who is ready to be the judge of the living and the dead.

τῷ tō “to Him who”

But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

τὸ to “the”τὰς tas “<the>”

And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

τὴν tēn “<the>”

If anyone has anything to say, let it be as the words of God; if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others, let him do it in the strength which is given by God; so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ, whose are the glor

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τὸ to “the”τοὺς tous “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

Dear brothers, do not be surprised, as if it was something strange, if your faith is tested as by fire:

τῇ tēa “at the”

But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.

τοῖς tois “in the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

τὸ to “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But if he undergoes punishment as a Christian, that is no shame to him; let him give glory to God in this name.

τὸν ton “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῶν tōn “of those”τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “the”

For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.

οἱ hoi “those”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὰς tas “the”

I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

τοὺς tous “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”τῶν tōn “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “who [am]”τῆς tēs “of the”

Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

τῶν tōn “<the>”τοῦ tou “to the”
