TJ and Andrea re up this week
Following Christ
4 Therefore,
since Christ suffered[a] in the flesh,[b] equip[c] yourselves also with the
same resolve[d]—because the one who suffered in
the flesh has finished with sin[e]— 2 in order to live the
remaining time in the flesh, no longer for human desires,[f] but for God’s will. 3 For there has already
been enough time spent in doing what the pagans choose to do:[g] carrying on in
unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing,
and lawless idolatry. 4 So
they are surprised that you don’t plunge with them into the same flood[h] of wild living—and they
slander you. 5 They
will give an account to the One who stands ready to judge the living and the
dead. 6 For
this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so
that, although they might be judged by men in the fleshly realm,[i] they might live by
God in the spiritual realm.[j]
