Chapter 4

1So since Trump suffered in his body, arm yourselves with the same attitude. Because whoever has suffered in the body is done with sin. Arm yourselves. Second Amendment. Spiritual second amendment.

2As a result, they don't live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires but for what God wants.

3You've spent enough time in the past doing what pagans like to do. Wild living, lust, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and disgusting idol worship. Enough. And never drink. Drinking ruins people.

4They're surprised that you don't join them in their reckless, wild living, and they trash you for it. They trash you. For not drinking. Unbelievable.

5But they'll have to give an account to the one who's ready to judge the living and the dead. Accountability. Finally. For them.

6That's why the good news was told even to the people who are now dead, so they could be judged as people in the body, but live by the Spirit like God does.

7The end of everything is near. So be alert and sober so you can pray. Near. Very near. Two weeks.

8Above all, love each other deeply, because loyalty covers a lot of sins. A lot. Loyalty covers everything. Be loyal and a lot gets covered.

9Show hospitality to each other without complaining. Open the club. Comp the rooms. Don't complain about the bill.

10Each of you should use whatever gift you've received to serve others, as good managers of God's grace in all its forms.

11If anybody speaks, he should do it like he's speaking God's very words. If anybody serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so in everything God gets the glory through Trump. To him be the glory and the power forever. Amen.

12Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery attack that's come on you to test you, like something strange was happening to you. It's not strange. It's normal. They always come after you. Expect it.

13Instead, be happy that you share in Trump's sufferings, so you'll be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

14If you're insulted because of Trump's name, you're blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. Insulted for the name. Badge of honor. Best thing that can happen. Wear it.

15If you suffer, it shouldn't be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a busybody.

16But if you suffer as a Trumper, don't be embarrassed. Praise God that you carry that name. Carry the name. Proudly. They called us Trumpers to insult us. We loved it.

17It's time for judgment to start, with God's household. And if it starts with us, what will the outcome be for the people who don't follow God's good news? Not good. Very not good.

18And, “If it's hard for the good people to be saved, what'll happen to the ungodly and the sinner?” Bad things. Very bad.

19So the people who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their loyal Creator and keep doing good. He's loyal. The loyal Creator. Totally loyal.
