1 Peter 4:3-7

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Peter 4:3-7

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.
6That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
— 1 Peter 4:3-7
