He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for your sake.

in that he spends the rest of his time on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.

And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here in reverence.

For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non-Christians desire. You lived then in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, and wanton idolatries.
