MY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and as sojourners, be separate from all the lusts of the body which make wars against the soul.

My beloved, I entreat you as strangers and pilgrims, separate yourselves from all lusts of the body; for they war against the soul.

Ἀγαπητοί, παρακαλῶ ὡς παροίκους καὶ παρεπιδήμους ἀπέχεσθαι τῶν σαρκικῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν, αἵτινες στρατεύονται κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς:

Excessed-off-unto, I-call-beside-unto as to-housed-beside and to-assembled-upon-beside to-hold-off of-the-ones of-flesh-belonged-of of-passionings-upon-unto, which-ones they-amass-of down of-the-one of-a-breathing;
