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 lust, 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;

Beloved, I exhort [you], as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

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

Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
