1 Peter 4:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 in order to live the remaining time in the flesh, no longer for human desires,[a] but for God’s will.(A) 3 For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the pagans choose to do:[b] carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires,(B) drunkenness, orgies,(C) carousing, and lawless idolatry. 4 So they are surprised that you don’t plunge with them into the same flood[c] of wild living—and they slander you.

1 Peter 4:2-4
New International Version
2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires,(A) but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past(B) doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.(C) 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.(D)
