1 Peter 4:1 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 4:1

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered¹ for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

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

3 For we have spent enough of our past¹ lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

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