Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

Αγαπητοι, σας παρακαλω ως ξενους και παρεπιδημους, να απεχητε απο των σαρκικων επιθυμιων, αιτινες στρατευονται κατα της ψυχης,

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
