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

For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
