You were guilty of sexual sins, evil desires, drunkenness, wild and drunken parties, and ·hateful [lawless; detestable] idol worship. 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.
