1 Peter 4:1-5

Modern English Version

Good Stewards of God’s Grace

4 Therefore, since Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, ² so that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh serving human desires, but the will of God. ³ For in earlier times of our lives it may have sufficed us to do what the Gentiles like to do, when we walked in immorality: lusts, drunkenness, carousing, debauchery, and abominable idolatries. ⁴ They are surprised that you do not join them in the same excess of wild living, and so they speak evil of you. ⁵ They will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
