1 Peter 4:4-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming.

5. But they must render an account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.

6. For because of this, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, certainly, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit.

7. But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.

8. But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.

9. Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

10. Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
