What does 1 Peter 4:4 mean?
"They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:"
— 1 Peter 4:4 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Biblical perspective
What does 444 mean in the Bible?
The number 444 isn't mentioned as a divine sign anywhere in Scripture. But there are real Bible passages about God's presence, protection, and what it means to seek Him.
Psalm 46:1 is one of the most direct passages about God as a refuge and strength — what many people are really looking for when they search for signs of divine protection.
Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
Isaiah 41:10
"Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."
