ممقوت عند اللـه كل نياح جسدانى
الأنبا بيمن

Abhorred by God is all bodily comfort.

إذا حَسُنَ لك الزنى أقتله بالتواضــع وإلجــــــــــأ
بنفسك إلى اللـه فتستريح، وإذا حُوربت بجمال
الجسد فتذكر نتانته بعد الموت فإنك تستريـــــح
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

If adultery is beautified in your eyes, kill it with humility, take refuge in God and you will be comforted. If you are tempted with the beauty of the body, remember its stench after death and you will be comforted.

إحرص على طهـــارة جســــدك
وسلامة قلبك فإنك إن تحققـت
من نوالهما، أبصرت اللـه ربــك.
مارإفرايم السرياني

Observe the purity of your body and the peace of your heart, for if you acquire them you will see the Lord your God.

-St. Ephraim the Syrian
