1Since the Chosen One suffered for us while in his earthly body, we must also be ready to suffer and to think about it in the same way he did. The ones who are willing to suffer while still in their weak human bodies have chosen to stop walking in broken ways.
2They also have chosen to live out their remaining days in these weak human bodies doing what the Great Spirit wants and not following broken human desires.
3For in the past you walked long enough following the evil desires of the nations who have lost their way. Like them , you walked a path of selfish and uncontrolled desires. You became drunks who went to wild drinking parties. You even prayed to forbidden spirit-images.
4The ones who walk in this way think it strange that you no longer join them in their wild and reckless way of life, so they speak evil of you.
5But they will have to give an answer to the Great Spirit for what they have done. He stands ready, for both the living and the dead, to decide who has done right and who has done wrong.
6This is the reason the good story has been told to the dead. In this way, even though they were found guilty in their weak human bodies, they might still live spiritually before the Great Spirit.
7The end of all things is near, so think good thoughts and be single-minded in your prayers.
8Above all, never stop loving each other, for like a warm blanket love covers a great number of broken ways.
9Open your homes to each other and share your food without grumbling.
10Each one of you has been given a gift, so use it to serve one another, as a good manager of the many kinds of gifts Creator gives.
11If your gift is speaking, then your words should come from the Great Spirit. If your gift is serving, then serve with the strength Creator gives you. In this way, the Great Spirit will be honored by everything you do through Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. To him belongs all power and shining-greatness to the time beyond the end of all days. Aho! May it be so!
12My much-loved ones, do not be caught off guard by the fiery trial that you now face, as if something strange were happening to you.
13Instead, be glad that you share in the sufferings of the Chosen One. The more you share in his sufferings, the more you will dance for joy when his shining-greatness is revealed.
14If you are treated with scorn and contempt because you follow the Chosen One, you are blessed. For this is a sign that the beauty of his Spirit and of Creator is resting on you.
15Make sure no one among you suffers as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or a troublemaker.
16But if you suffer as a follower of the Chosen One, do not be ashamed. Represent his name well, and you will bring honor to the Great Spirit.
17The time has come for judgment to begin with Creator’s own family. If it begins with us, what will become of the ones who do not respect and follow Creator’s good story?
18If the ones in good standing come through with much difficulty, then what will be the end of the bad-hearted ones and those who walk in broken ways?
19So the ones who suffer for doing what is right, as the Great Spirit wants them to, should fully trust our faithful Creator with their lives and continue to do good.
