1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, equip yourselves also with the same resolve — because the one who suffered in the flesh has finished with sin —
2 in order to live the remaining time in the flesh, no longer for human desires, but for God’s will.
3 For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the pagans choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.
4 So they are surprised that you don’t plunge with them into the same flood of wild living — and they slander you.
5 They will give an account to the One who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.
