1 Peter 4:1-6

Revised Geneva Translation

4 Therefore, as 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 henceforth (as much time as remains in the flesh) he should not live after the lusts of man, but after the will of God.

³ For in the past of our lives, it may have sufficed for us to work after the same desires as the Gentiles: walking in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, in gluttony, carousing, and in abominable idolatries.

⁴ So, it seems strange to them that you do not run with them to the same excess of debauchery, and they speak evil of you.

⁵ They shall give account to Him Who is ready to judge quick and dead.

⁶ For to this purpose was the Gospel also preached to the dead: so that they might be condemned according to man in the flesh but might live according to God in the Spirit.
