Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
Ἀγαπητοί, παρακαλῶ ὡς παροίκους καὶ παρεπιδήμους, ἀπέχεσθαι τῶν σαρκικῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν, αἵτινες στρατεύονται κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς·
Agapētoi, parakalō ōs paroikoys kai parepidēmoys, apechesthai tōn sarkikōn epithymiōn, aitines strateyontai kata tēs psychēs·
