About This Quote
As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. I Peter 4:2. The context of the message is being slaves, being under the authority of someone else, or being controlled by someone else. Peter is talking about people who are finally free from slavery, no longer doing something because it was expected of them.
Instead, they are now doing good things because it is what they want to do. They are living for something higher than themselves.
