1 Since Christ suffered physically for us, you too must strengthen yourselves with the same way of thinking that he had. Whoever suffers physically has ceased from sin.

2 From now on you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by Gods will and not by human desires lusts.

3 You have spent enough time in the past doing what unbelievers like to do. Your lives were spent in indecency, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and the disgusting worship of idols false gods.

4 They think it strange that you do not run with them in wild and reckless living and they speak evil about you.

5 They will give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
