who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God ¹  with angels and authorities and powers subject to him. ² 

They will face a reckoning before ¹  Jesus Christ ²  who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

For the culmination of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of prayer. ¹ 

But let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or as a troublemaker. ¹ 

But if you suffer as a Christian, ¹  do not be ashamed, but glorify ²  God that you bear such a name. ³ 

So ¹  they are astonished ²  when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you. ³ 

But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed ¹  you may also rejoice and be glad. ² 

In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, ¹  even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, ² 

And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ ¹  will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ² 

Such trials show the proven character of your faith, ¹  which is much more valuable than gold – gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away ²  – and will bring praise ³  and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. ⁴
