Ready with Answers Lesson 3. Why are you so hopeful?

1 Peter 4:1-5


1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.


2 As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do— living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4 They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.


NIV “They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation…”


NKJV “…they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation…”


KJV “…they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot…”


NASB “…they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation…”


ESV “…they are surprised when you do not join

NLT “…your former friends are very surprised when you no longer join them in the wicked things they do…”
