1 Peter 4:1

Read in context

1 Peter 4:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.

2 Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.

3 For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
