Martin Luther, Protestant reformer, discusses the subduing of the flesh (1 Peter 4:1). Refraining from lust means one’s neighbor, wife, & children can live at peace. If one subdues hate and envy, one is better prepared to be kind and friendly to one’s neighbor.
Isn’t it surprising that that “subduing flesh” can mean kindness to neighbor? As opposed to locking self in closet?
How can you set aside lustfulness, hate, and envy?

I'm the person who holds the door for everyone, even when they're not quite close enough, but not quite far away enough.
