In this episode, the apostle presents a stern reality to believers—that as they pursue righteousness and turn away from fleshly desires, they will face opposition and be maligned for doing what is good. Yet, God is the ultimate judge of all.
“In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them in the same excesses of debauchery, and they slander you; but they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.” — 1 Peter 4:4-5 (NASB)
