1 Peter 4:1-6 - The Time For Behaving Like The Gentiles Is Past

1 Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind: because the one having suffered in carnality has ceased from sin; 2 that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God. 3 For the past time is sufficient to have wrought the will of the heathens, walking in impurities, in lusts, in wine-drinkings, in revelries, in intemperance, and in unlawful idolatries: 4 in which they are astonished you not running to the same excess of wrath, blaspheming; 5 who shall give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For, unto this the gospel was also preached to the dead, in order that they may indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
