Stewards of God's Grace

¹Since therefore zChrist suffered in the flesh,1 aarm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for bwhoever has suffered in the flesh chas ceased from sin, ²dso as to live for ethe rest of the time in the flesh fno longer for human passions but gfor the will of God. ³For the time that is past hsuffices ifor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. ⁴With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of jdebauchery, and kthey malign you; ⁵but they will give account to him who is ready lto judge the living and the dead. ⁶For this is why mthe gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
