2Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
3For 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.
4Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
5But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
— 1 Peter 4:2-5
