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

¹ Christ then having suffered in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; ² that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after the will of God. ³ For sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, carousings, and abominable idolatries; ⁴ at which they are astonished that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you; ⁵ who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.
