³ For you have spent enough time in the past^(A) doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.^{(B) 4} They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.^{(C) 5} But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.^{(D) 6} For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead,^(E) so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
