1 Peter 4:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ ·Nonbelievers [The Gentiles/pagans] think it is ·strange [surprising] that you do not ·do the many wild and wasteful things they do [^Lrun with them into the same flood/excess of debauchery], so they ·insult you [abuse/slander you; or blaspheme]. ⁵ But they will have to ·explain [^Tgive account of] this to God, who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For this reason the ·Good News [Gospel] was preached to those who are now dead. Even though they were judged ·like all people [^Laccording to human beings in the flesh], the Good News was preached to them so they could live ·in the spirit as God lives [or in the Spirit as God lives; ^Laccording to God in the spirit/Spirit; ^Cthough Christians will die physically, because of the Good News they will live forever with God].
