“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.”
As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God — the positive consequence of suffering and freedom from sin is reorientation of life toward 'the will of God' (to thelēma theou) rather than 'human desires' (epithymias anthrōpōn). The suffering believer is freed from the compulsive pursuit of earthly pleasure.
