1 Peter 4:4-6
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 They are astonished and think it very queer that you do not now run hand in hand with them in the same excesses of dissipation, and they abuse [you].
5 But they will have to give an account to Him Who is ready to judge and pass sentence on the living and the dead.
6 For this is why the good news (the Gospel) was preached [[a]in their lifetime] even to the dead, that though judged in fleshly bodies as men are, they might live in the spirit as God does.

New International Version
4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.(A) 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.(B) 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead,(C) so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
