THERE IS A  SPIRITUAL BATTLE THAT REIGNS AMONG MEN! 
THE BATTLE  OF GOOD AND EVIL.

In First Peter Chapter 3 verses 8-12 CHRISTIAN CHARITY:

8)” In summary, then, all of you should be like-minded, sympathetic, loving toward one another, kindly disposed, and humble. 9) Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult.   Return a blessing instead.   This you have been called to do, that you may recieve a blessing as your inheritance.”

10 )”He who cares for life and wants to see prosperous days must keep his tongue from evil. and his lips from uttering deceit.”     

11)  “He must turn from evil and do good, seek peace and follow after it.”

12 )”Because the Lord has eyes for the just and ears for their cry; but against evildoers the Lord sets his face.”

The following contrasts the evil of men, and the desires of the flesh.   Chapter 4 verses 1-6

In Christian faithfulness:1 “Christ suffered in the flesh;  therefore arm yoursleves  with His same mentality.    He who has sufferd in the flesh has broken with sin.   2 You are not to spend what remains of your earthly life on human desires but on the will of God.   3 )  Already you have devoted enough time to what the pagans enjoy, living lives of debauchery, evil desires, drunkenss, orgies, carousing, and wanton idolatry.   4) It is no wonder that those blasphemers are surprised when you do not plunge into the same swamp of profligacy as they.   5) They shalll have an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.   6)   The reason the gospel was preached even to the dead was that, although condemned in the flesh in the eyes of men, they might live in the spirit in the eyes of God.

Be on Guard!   For sin is cunning!   It appears beautiful and though deadly will appear sweet upon first ‘taste’!   For sin is of Satan.   His principalities are darkness, and evil.   A blindness that occurs within ones-self makes it most difficult to withdraw from, much like quicksand.
