1 Peter 4:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation, and so they blaspheme.^{[a] 5} But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged, they might live in the spirit as God does.
