4 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same ^[a]mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased ^[b]from sin; ² that ^[c]ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. ³ For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries: ⁴ wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same ^[d]excess of riot, speaking evil of you: ⁵ who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For unto this end ^[e]was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
