Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, do you also warm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh, has ceased from sin;

On which account they wonder that you do not run with them, into the same sink of debauchery, reviling you,-

Beloved, wonder not at the fiery trial among you, which is come upon you for a trial, as if some strange thing happened to you;

whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren, who are in the world.
