Context of 1 Peter 4:2
1Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin, no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will. 3For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries. 4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];
