1 Peter 4:2
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

Study Note
The purpose clause for Christ's suffering — 'so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God' — applies the logic of Christ's death to the ethical transformation of believers. The temporal phrase 'the rest of the time in the flesh' acknowledges the ongoing embodied reality of Christian life while insisting that conversion creates a fundamental reorientation of one's fundamental motivational drive. The contrast 'human passions' (epithumiais anthrōpōn) versus 'will of God' (thelēmati theou) is the Petrine version of Paul's 'flesh' versus 'Spirit' antithesis. The verse is part of the extended suffering passage (4:1-19) that grounds Christian endurance in the pattern of Christ's own suffering, establishing Christological solidarity as the basis for ethical transformation.
