1 Peter 4:1-6 - The Time For Behaving Like The Gentiles Is Past
1 Forasmuch as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he which suffereth in the flesh ceaseth from sin, 2 that he henceforward should live as much time as remaineth in the flesh, not after the lusts of men: but after the will of God. 3 For it is sufficient for us that we have spent the time that is past of the life, after the will of the gentiles; walking in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, in eating, drinking, and in abominable idolatry. 4 And it seemeth to them a strange thing that ye run not also with them unto the same excess of riot, and therefore speak they evil of you, 5 which shall give accounts to him that is ready to judge quick and dead. 6 For unto this purpose, verily, was the gospel preached unto the dead; that they should be condemned of men in the flesh, but should live before God in the spirit.
