1 Peter 4:4-6
New Matthew Bible
4 And it seems to them a strange thing that you run not also with them to the same excess of disorder, and therefore they speak evil of you. 5 But they will give accounts to him who is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 6 For to this purpose was the gospel preached to the dead: that they should be judged like other men in the flesh, but should live before God in the spirit.

1 Peter 4:4-6
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.
