1 Peter 4:1-6 - The Time For Behaving Like The Gentiles Is Past
1 Seeing therefore Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same thought, that he, who hath mortified the flesh, hath ceased from sin; 2 that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh according to the lusts of men, but after the will of God. 3 For the time past of our life is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, inordinate desires, excess of wine, revellings, drunkenness, and abominable idolatries: 4 in which they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, and therefore speak evil of you: 5 who shall give an account to Him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For to this end was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.
