4 Now, those people you used to run around with cannot understand why you have stopped living such wasteful lives, so they just "badmouth" you. 5 But, they will have to answer to God, who will judge both those who are now alive and those who have already died, [for the way they have lived]. 6 This is the purpose that the Gospel was preached to those who have died physically [for the faith]: It was so that, even though they had been judged physically [i.e., by suffering death at the hands of men], they could still live spiritually in the presence of God.
