Masochism

1 Therefore, since (A) Christ has [a] suffered in the flesh, (B) arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because (C) he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 (D) so as to live (E) the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the (F) will of God.

3 For (G) the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, (H) having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

-I Peter 4:1-3
