MY WORD
1 Peter 4:6–14 (The Living Bible) 6 That is why the Good News was preached even to those who were
dead—killed by the flood—so that although their bodies were punished with
death, they could still live in their spirits as God lives. 7 The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore
be earnest, thoughtful men of prayer. 8 Most important of all,
continue to show deep love for each other, for love makes up for many of your
faults. 9 Cheerfully share your home with those who need
a meal or a place to stay for the night. 10 God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use
them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings. 11 Are you called to preach? Then preach as though God himself were
speaking through you. Are you called to help others? Do it with all the
strength and energy that God supplies so that God will be glorified through
Jesus Christ—to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen. 12 Dear friends, don’t be bewildered or surprised
when you go through the fiery trials ahead, for this is no strange, unusual
thing that is going to happen to you. 13 Instead, be really glad—because these trials will make you partners
with Christ in his suffering, and afterwards you will have the wonderful joy of
sharing his glory in that coming day when it will be displayed. 14 Be happy if you are cursed and insulted for
being a Christian, for when that happens the Spirit of God will come upon you
with great glory.
Colossians 3:12–17 (The Living Bible) 12 Since you have been chosen by
God who has given you this new kind of life, and because of his deep love and
concern for you, you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to
others. Don’t worry about making a good impression on them, but be ready to suffer
quietly and patiently. 13 Be gentle and ready to
forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must
forgive others. 14 Most of all, let love guide your life, for then the whole church
will stay together in perfect harmony. 15 Let the peace of heart that comes from Christ be always present in
your hearts and lives, for this is your responsibility and privilege as members
of his body. And always be thankful. 16 Remember what Christ taught, and let his words enrich your lives
and make you wise; teach them to each other and sing them out in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing to the Lord with thankful hearts. 17 And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the
Lord Jesus, and come with him into the presence of God the Father to give him
your thanks.
2 Peter 1:1–10 (The Living Bible) 1 From: Simon Peter, a servant and
missionary of Jesus Christ. To: All of you who have our kind of faith. The faith I speak of is the
kind that Jesus Christ our God and Savior gives to us. How precious it is, and
how just and good he is to give this same faith to each of us. 2 Do you want more and more of God’s kindness and peace? Then learn
to know him better and better. 3 For as you know him better,
he will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a
truly good life: he even shares his own glory and his own goodness with us! 4 And by that same mighty power he has given us
all the other rich and wonderful blessings he promised; for instance, the
promise to save us from the lust and rottenness all around us, and to give us
his own character. 5 But to obtain these gifts, you need more than faith; you must also
work hard to be good, and even that is not enough. For then you must learn to
know God better and discover what he wants you to do. 6 Next, learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become
patient and godly, gladly letting God have his way with you. 7 This will make possible the next step, which is for you to enjoy
other people and to like them, and finally you will grow to love them deeply. 8 The more you go on in this way, the more you will grow strong
spiritually and become fruitful and useful to our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But anyone who fails to go after these additions to faith is blind
indeed, or at least very shortsighted and has forgotten that God delivered him
from the old life of sin so that now he can live a strong, good life for the
Lord. 10 So, dear brothers, work hard to prove that you
really are among those God has called and chosen, and then you will never
stumble or fall away.
[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context asking
the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
