NET Bible
"So they are astonished when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you."
— 1 Peter 4:4, NET Bible
“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:”
“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: ”
So, since Christ suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same attitude, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin,
in that he spends the rest of his time on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.
For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non-Christians desire. You lived then in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, and wanton idolatries.
So they are astonished when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you.
They will face a reckoning before Jesus Christ who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.
Now it was for this very purpose that the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, so that though they were judged in the flesh by human standards they may live spiritually by God’s standards.
Service, Suffering, and Judgment For the culmination of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of prayer.
