If you want to live long on earth, do not rush to live in a carnal way, to become satiated, to get drunk, to smoke, to commit fornication, to indulge in luxury, and to indulge. Death lies in the carnal way of life, which is why our flesh is called in the Holy Scriptures dead or the old man, corrupted by deceitful lusts (Eph. 422). If you want to live long, live in the Spirit: life lies in the Spirit: “If you put to death the deeds of the flesh in the Spirit, you will live” (Rom. 8:13) both here and there in heaven. Observe moderation and simplicity in food and drink, maintain chastity, do not recklessly waste the balm of your life, do not pursue wealth, luxury, try to be content with little; keep peace with everyone and do not envy anyone, honor and love everyone, especially try to always carry Christ in your heart - and you will live in peace and prosperity for many years (8).
