1 Pedro 4

Think as Christ did when he suffered, and conduct your lives as God wants you to, not doing the immoral things that you used to do.

1 Therefore, because Christ suffered physically, you also must think the way that he did when he was willing to suffer, because those who suffer physicallybecause of belonging to Jesus have stopped sinning the way they used to sin. 2 As a result, during their remaining time here on earth, they do not do the things that sinful people desire to do, but instead they do the things that God wants them to do. 3 I say that to you because [SAR] you have already spent too much of your time here on earth doing what the people who do not know God like to do. In the past you committed all kinds of sexually immoral acts [DOU], you got drunk and then participated in ◄orgies/wild parties► and carousing/revelry, and you worshipped idols, which is very displeasing to God. 4 Because you used to do those things, your friends are surprised that you do not join them any more when they participate in that kind of wild behavior that ◄is rushing to/will quickly► destroy them like [MET] a flood. As a result, they say evil things about you. 5 But God is ready to judge the people who are living now and the people who have died, and he is the one who will decide whether he approves of what each of them has done.
