1 Peter 4 — Context

1

Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

2

so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

3

For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

4

In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;

5

but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6

For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

7

The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.
