For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

If, then, reasoning appears to hold the mastery over the passions which stand in the way of temperance, such as gluttony and lust,

Before pleasure is lust; and after pleasure, joy.

But of the lusts, some belong to the soul, others to the body: and over each of these classes the reasoning appears to bear sway.

And what wonder? if the lusts of the soul, after participation with what is beautiful, are frustrated,

And it is not merely the stimulus of sensual indulgence, but that of every desire, that reasoning is able to master.

For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, And serving to the appetite of the eater, Tempered itself to every man’s liking.

But afterward they saw a new generation of fowls, When, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.

The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; And an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.

Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, To walk in the ways of thy heart:

Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord, And meditate continually in his commandments: He shall establish thy heart, And give thee wisdom at thine own desire.

Defraud not thyself of the good day, And let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.

Go not after thy lusts, But refrain thyself from thine appetites.

If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, She will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.
