2 So as no longer to live the remaining time of the Olam Hazeh in the basar, in the ta’avot Bnei Adam (lusts of men), but in the ratzon Hashem (will of G-d). 3 For you have already spent sufficient time (time already gone by) in the Olam Hazeh participating in the ta’avot (lusts) of the Goyim, walking in darchei zimah (the ways of licentiousness), ta’avot (lusts), shichrut (drunkenness), orgiastic drinking mesibot (parties), and unlawful avodas elilim (idolatry). 4 The Goyim think it strange* that you are not running with them into the same mabbul (flood) of dissipation, and so they blaspheme and commit Chillul Hashem. 5 But they will give an account to the One being ready to take his moshav (seat) as the Shofet of HaChayyim v’HaMesim (the Living and the Dead). 6 For, indeed, this is the reason that the Besuras HaGeulah was preached to the mesim (dead ones),* that, though judged in the basar according to men,* they might live according to G-d in the spirit.

7 The Ketz (End) of all things now has drawn near. Let your thinking be one of zililut da’as (sober-mindedness), therefore, and exercise kibush hayetzer (self-control), for the sake of your tefillos.
