Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
"The knowledge that they do not belong does not lead to withdrawal, but to their taking their standards of behavior, not from the culture in which they live, but from their ’home’ culture of heaven, so that their life always fits the place they are headed to, rather than their temporary lodging in this world." [Note: Davids, p. 95.]
