1 Pedro 4:4

4 A ellos les parece extraño que ustedes ya no corran con ellos en ese mismo desbordamiento de inmoralidad, y por eso los insultan.

1 Pedro 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Peter 4:4

Wherein they think it strange
Here the apostle points out what the saints must expect from the men of the world, by living a different life; and he chooses to mention it, to prevent discouragements, and that they might not be uneasy and distressed when they observed it; as that they would wonder at the change in their conversations, and look on it as something unusual, new, and unheard of, and treat them as strangers, yea, as enemies, on account of it:

that you run not with them into the same excess of riot;
to their luxurious entertainments, their Bacchanalian feasts, and that profusion of lasciviousness, luxury, intemperance, and wickedness of all sorts, which, with so much eagerness of mind, and bodily haste, they rushed into; being amazed that they should not have the same taste for these things as before, and as themselves now had; and wondering how it was possible for them to abstain from them, and what that should be that should give them a different cast of mind, and turn of action:

speaking evil of you;
and so the Syriac and Arabic versions supply "you" as we do; but in the Greek text it is only, "speaking evil of, or blaspheming"; God, Christ, religion, the Gospel, and the truths of it, and all good men; hating them because different from them, and because their lives reprove and condemn them; charging them with incivility, unsociableness, preciseness, and hypocrisy.

1 Pedro 4:4 In-Context

2 para vivir el resto de su vida terrenal no satisfaciendo sus pasiones humanas sino cumpliendo la voluntad de Dios.

3 Pues ya basta con el tiempo que han desperdiciado haciendo lo que agrada a los incrédulos, entregados al desenfreno, a las pasiones, a las borracheras, a las orgías, a las parrandas y a las idolatrías abominables.

4 A ellos les parece extraño que ustedes ya no corran con ellos en ese mismo desbordamiento de inmoralidad, y por eso los insultan.

5 Pero ellos tendrán que rendirle cuentas a aquel que está preparado para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.

6 Por esto también se les predicó el evangelio aun a los muertos, para que, a pesar de haber sido juzgados según criterios humanos en lo que atañe al cuerpo, vivan conforme a Dios en lo que atañe al espíritu.
