The Living And The Dead Lyrics

Therefore, since Christ
Suffered in his body
Arm yourselves also
With the same attitude

Because whoever suffers
In the body
Is done with sin
As a result

They do not live
The rest of their earthly lives
For evil human desires
But rather for the will of God

For you have
Spent enough time
In the past
Doing what pagans choose to do

Living in debauchery
Lust, drunkenness
Orgies, carousing
And detestable idolatry

They are surprised
That you do not join them
In their reckless, wild living
And they heap abuse on you

But they will have to
Give account to him
Who is ready to judge
The living and the dead

For this is the reason
The gospel was preached
Even to those
Who are now dead

So that they might be
Judged according to
Human standards
In regard to the body

But live according
To God
In regard to the
Spirit

They will have to
Give account to him
Who is ready to judge
The living and the dead
