1 Christ, then, having suffered in flesh, do, ye also, with the same purpose, arm yourselves,because, he that hath suffered in flesh, hath done with sins,2 To the end that, no longer, in mens covetings, but in Gods will, ye may live, the still remaining time.3 For, sufficient, is the bygone timeto have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine-drinkings, revellings, drinking-bouts, and impious idolatries:4 Wherein they are taken by surprise that ye run not with them into the same overflow of riotous excess,uttering defamation:5 Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead;
