1 Peter 4:1-6

21st Century King James Version

4 For inasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind, for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin,

² that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

³ For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries;

⁴ wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same dissolute excess, speaking evil of you,

⁵ who shall give account to Him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

⁶ For, for this cause was the Gospel preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
