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

¹ Christ therefore having suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, ² that you may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past is sufficient for us to have performed the will of the gentiles, walking in lewdness, inordinate desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings and unlawful idolatries, ⁴ in which they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excessive intemperance, blaspheming, ⁵ who shall give an account to him that is ready to judge the living and dead. ⁶ And for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit.
