11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims , abstain from fleshly lusts , which war against the soul ;
Not only Strangers in the several Countries where ye inhabit, (being out of your own Land) but Strangers in the World, as all Believers are, Psalm 39.12. and 119.19. and 1 Chron. 29.15. Heb. 11.13, 14.
Not only sensual Desires, but all the Works of the Flesh, Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. the carnal Mind it self being Enmity against God, Rom. 8.7.
As Enemies, oppose, and fight against, Rom. 7.23. Iames 4.1.
The inner Man, or regenerate part, or Spirit, which is opposed to fleshly Lusts. See Gal. 5.17.
