Stewards of God’s Grace
1Since therefore fChrist suffered in the flesh, ▼▼Some manuscripts add for us; some for you
harm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for iwhoever has suffered in the flesh jhas ceased from sin, 2 kso as to live for lthe rest of the time in the flesh mno longer for human passions but nfor the will of God. 3For the time that is past osuffices pfor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of qdebauchery, and rthey malign you; 1 John 2:15-16
Do Not Love the World
15 sDo not love the world or the things in the world. tIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world— uthe desires of the flesh and vthe desires of the eyes and pride of life ▼▼Or pride in possessions
—is not from the Father but is from the world.
