Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Peter 4:3-4

"For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries: wherein they think strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [of]:" — 1 Peter 4:3-4 (ASV)

When we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excesses of wine, revellings banquetings, and abominable idolatries. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

What a strange world this world is! It speaks evil of men because they will not do evil. Yet it has always been so; the men, of whom the world was not worthy, have been the very people of whom worldliness has said, Away with such fellows from the earth! It is not fit that they should live. The world's verdict concerning Christians is of little value.
