Main point summary

Since Christ's suffering is the pathway to glory (3:18-22), those who follow Him should prepare themselves to suffer (4:1). Let me explain why believers should so resolve: Prepare yourself to suffer because suffering for Christ shows you've left sin behind (4:2). Prepare yourself to suffer for this purpose: so that you may live the rest of your life for the will of God and not for human passions/desires/lusts. (4:2) Let me explain: the time to live for the will of the pagans has past (4:3-4). Therefore, pagans are surprised when you don't join them and plunge yourself into this cesspool of sin. And as a result, they heap abuse on you (4:4). But those who live now for debauched human passions and who revile believers will be judged by God on the last day and will have to give account to Him (4:5) The reason the gospel was preached to those who are now dead is because all die and will face judgement (4:6). Even though from a human perspective believers seem to gain no benefits from their faith since they die, from God's perspective they live according to the Spirit (4:6; cf. 3:18).

actionpurpose

For the time that is past h suffices i for doing what the Gentiles want to do,

ἀρκετὸς γὰρ ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος τὸ βούλημα τῶν ἐθνῶν κατειργάσθαι

living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.

With respect to this they are surprised

οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς.

For this is why m the gospel was preached even to those who are ( now ) dead,

εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη,

that though judged in the flesh the way people are,

ἵνα κριθῶσιν μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκὶ

they might live in the spirit the way God does.

ζῶσιν δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι.
