but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.

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

Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame.

οἱ hoi “those”τὴν tēn “<the>”

For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “in the”

in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison,

τοῖς tois “to the”

who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons--eight in number--were brought safely through the water.

ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

τοῦ tou “<the>”

Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same--because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin--

τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”

that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.

τὸ to “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.

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

At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.

τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.

τῷ tō “to Him who”

But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.

τὸ to “the”τὰς tas “<the>”

Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.

τὴν tēn “<the>”

If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the mi

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

Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test--as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.

τῇ tēa “at the”

On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.

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

You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you.

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

If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.

τὸν ton “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?

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 difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “the”

Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

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

So I exhort the Elders among you--I who am their fellow Elder and have been an eye-witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and am also a sharer in the glory which is soon to be revealed.

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

Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.
