1 Peter 4:1-2

MSG

NIV

1 Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way.
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
2 Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.
2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
