1 Peter 4:2 in Context — 1 Peter 4

1 Visto que Cristo sofreu por nós na carne, armai-vos também com o mesmo modo de pensar, pois quem sofreu na carne terminou com o pecado;

2 para que, no resto do tempo na carne, não viva mais segundo os maus desejos humanos, mas sim segundo a vontade de Deus.

3 Pois já basta, no tempo passado da vida, termos feito a vontade dos pagãos, e andado em promiscuidades, desejos maliciosos, bebedeiras, orgias, festas de embriaguez, e abomináveis idolatrias.

4 Como eles estranham vós não agirdes como eles, que correm em busca da extrema devassidão, por isso falam mal de vós.
