1 Peter 4:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ That is why the Good News was preached even to those who were dead—killed by the flood^[a]—so that although their bodies were punished with death, they could still live in their spirits as God lives.

⁷ The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore be earnest, thoughtful men of prayer. ⁸ Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love makes up for many of your faults.^[b]
