Clement of Alexandria, on 1Pet 2:11
Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
1Pet 2:11 · Douay-Rheims
“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,”
On this verse:
“So also the admirable Peter says: "Beloved, I exhort you as strangers and pilgrims, to abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul, and conduct yourselves well among the heathen; for this is the will of God that by doing good you should put to silence the activity of foolish men, as free and not using your freedom as a covering for evil, but as God's slaves."”
