1 Peter 4:1-6 - The Time For Behaving Like The Gentiles Is Past
1 CHRIST then having suffered for us in the flesh, be ye also in mind armed for the same conflict: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning; 2 that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will. 3 For the time past of life is enough for us to have wrought the will of the heathen, when we walked in all impurities, lewd appetites, excess of wine, revels, drinking-bouts, and abominable idolatries; 4 wherein they think it a strange thing, that you are not running with them into the same gulph of profligacy, spreading every scandalous report of you: 5 who shall give an account to him, who holds himself ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For to this end was the gospel preached to those that are dead, that they might be judged indeed in the flesh according to the will of men, but live in spirit according to the will of God.
