The Time for Behaving Like the Gentiles is Past
4 Therefore, because[fn] Christ suffered in the flesh, you also equip yourselves with the same way of thinking, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for the will of God. 3 For the time that has passed was sufficient to do what the Gentiles desire to do[fn], having lived in licentiousness, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries, 4 with respect to which they are surprised when[fn] you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and so they[fn] revile you. 5 They[fn] will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 Because for this reason also the gospel was preached to those who are dead, so that they were judged by human standards[fn] in the flesh, but they may live in the spirit by God’s standards[fn].
