1 Peter 4:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ Nonbelievers think it is strange that you do not do the many wild and wasteful things they do, so they insult you. ⁵ But they will have to explain this to God, who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For this reason the Good News was preached to those who are now dead. Even though they were judged like all people, the Good News was preached to them so they could live in the spirit as God lives.
