1 Seeing then Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind:

2 (for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin) That ye may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh, to the desire of men, but to the will of God.

3 For the time past of your life sufficeth to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, evil desires, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries.

4 Wherein they think it strange, that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot,

5 speaking evil of you, Who shall give account to him that is ready judge the living and the dead.
