"About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming. "
— 1 Peter 4:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: ”
“wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: ”
“They think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:”
“So they are astonished when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you.”
“Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness: speaking evil of you.”
“And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:”
“Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: ”
Since Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also should be armed with the same intention. For he who suffers in the flesh desists from sin,
so that now he may live, for the remainder of his time in the flesh, not by the desires of men, but by the will of God.
For the time that has passed is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, those who have walked in luxuries, lusts, intoxication, feasting, drinking, and the illicit worship of idols.
About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming.
But they must render an account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.
For because of this, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, certainly, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit.
But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.
