2 that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.
3 For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.
4 At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.
5 But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.
