2 in order no longer to [live] in [the] lusts of men, but in [the] will of God the remaining time in [the] flesh.

3 For the time of life which is past is enough for us to have worked out the will of the nations, having gone on in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, parties, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

4 In these things they are surprised, [that] you [are] not running with [them] into the same excess of riot, blaspheming.

5 But they shall give account to Him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.

6 For to this [end] the gospel was preached also to [the] dead, that they might be judged according to men in [the] flesh, but live according to God in [the] Spirit.

7 But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be of sound mind, and be sensible to prayers.
