May 16, Daily Scripture

"So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude He had, and be ready to suffer too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. You have had enough in the past of evil things that godless people enjoy - their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkeness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idles. Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you."
