¹ Since, then, Christ suffered in body, arm yourselves with the same resolve as he; for he who has suffered in body has ceased to sin, ² and so will live the rest of his earthly life guided, not by human passions, but by the will of God. ³ Surely in the past you have spent time enough living as the Gentiles delight to live. For your path has lain among scenes of debauchery, licentiousness, drunkenness, revelry, hard-drinking, and profane idolatry. ⁴ And, because you do not run to the same extremes of profligacy as others, they are astonished, and malign you. ⁵ But they will have to answer for their conduct to him who is ready to judge both the living and the dead. ⁶ For that was why the Good News was told to the dead also--that, after they have been judged in the body, as men are judged, they might live in the spirit, as God lives. ⁷ But the end of all things is near. Therefore exercise self-restraint and be calm, that you may be able to pray.

Show sincerity in your teaching, and a serious spirit; ⁸ let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that the enemy may be ashamed when he fails to find anything bad to say about us.
