1 Peter 4:2

The Time For Behaving Like The Gentiles Is Past

¹ Since, then, Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, do you also arm yourselves with the same determination; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, ² so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.
