• 1 Peter 4:1-6

  [1] Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; [2] that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. [3] For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries. [4] They think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming: [5] who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

  [1] But say the things which fit sound doctrine, [2] that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience: [3] and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; [4] that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, [5] to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed. [6] Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded; [7] in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, [8] and soundness of speech that can't be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

[12] Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?" [13] But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted. [14] Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit." [15] Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us." [16] So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?
