18 For Christ also hath wonce xsuffered for sins, ythe just for the unjust, zthat he might bring us to God, abeing put to death bin the flesh, but cquickened dby the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and epreached unto the spirits fin prison; 20 Which sometime were gdisobedient, hwhen once the ilongsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, kwhile the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, leight msouls kwere saved by water. 21 The like nfigure whereunto even obaptism doth also now psave us (not the qputting away of the filth of the flesh, but rthe answer of sa good conscience toward God,) tby the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 22 Who is gone into heaven, and uis on the right hand of God; vangels and wxyauthorities and vwxpowers zbeing made subject unto him.

4 aForasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us ain the flesh, barm yourselves likewise with the same cmind: for dhe that hath suffered in the flesh ehath ceased from sin; 2 fThat he no longer should live gthe rest of his time in the flesh to hthe lusts of men, but to ithe will of God. 3 For the time past of our life jmay suffice us fkto have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in llasciviousness, mlusts, excess of wine, nrevellings, banquetings, and oabominable pidolatries: 4 Wherein they qthink it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of rriot, sspeaking evil of you: 5 Who shall tgive account to him that is ready uto judge the quick and the dead. 6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also vto them that are dead, that they might be judged waccording to men in the flesh, but live xaccording to God in the spirit.
