Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
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;
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 11–12
Even the best of men, the chosen generation, the people of God, need to be exhorted to keep from the worst sins. And fleshly lusts are most destructive to man's soul. It is a sore judgment to be given up to them. There is a day of visitation coming, wherein God may call to repentance by his word and his grace; then many will glorify God, and the holy lives of his people will have promoted the happy change.
