1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has been released from sin,

2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh in the lusts of men, but in the will of God.

3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

4 In this regard, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same overflow of dissipation, blaspheming.

5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
