1 Peter 4:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ But they will have to give an account to Him Who is ready to judge and pass sentence on the living and the dead.

⁶ For this is why the good news (the Gospel) was preached [^[a]in their lifetime] even to the dead, that though judged in fleshly bodies as men are, they might live in the spirit as God does.

⁷ But the end and culmination of all things has now come near; keep sound minded and self-restrained and alert therefore for [the practice of] prayer.
