Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.

Dear friends, you are outsiders and those who wander in this world. So I’m asking you not to give in to your sinful desires. They fight against your soul.

Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.

Dear friends, I warn you as“ temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.

Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.

Beloved, I beg you as sojourners 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;

Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you.

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 keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul,

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

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God’s will.

These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war within you?

So then, dear friends, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.

Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Let us walk with decency, as in the daytime: not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy.But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires.

that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. You will do well if you keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.”

For we are aliens and temporary residents in your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

“ The land is not to be permanently sold because it is mine, and you are only aliens and temporary residents on my land.

Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received,

“ Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry for help; do not be silent at my tears. For I am here with you as an alien, a temporary resident like all my ancestors.

“ Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly

I am a resident alien on earth; do not hide your commands from me.

I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things— as I warned you before— that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

but I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.

If you appeal to the Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, you are to conduct yourselves in reverence during your time living as strangers.

But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

but instead we should write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from blood.

Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ My pilgrimage has lasted 130 years. My years have been few and hard, and they have not reached the years of my ancestors during their pilgrimages.”

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ: To those chosen, living as exiles dispersed abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen

Working together with him, we also appeal to you,“ Don’t receive the grace of God in vain.”

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,“ Be reconciled to God.”

I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus,appeal to you for my son, Onesimus. I became his father while I was in chains.

“ I am an alien residing among you. Give me burial property among you so that I can bury my dead.”

Your statutes are the theme of my song during my earthly life.
