The word “deaden ” indicates that we must take strong measures to fight against immoral fleshly desires. We will avoid anything that might arouse in us sexual desire for someone other than our mate.
وَتُشِيرُ كَلِمَةُ « أَمِيتُوا » أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا ٱتِّخَاذَ إِجْرَاءَاتٍ حَازِمَةٍ لِمُحَارَبَةِ رَغَبَاتِنَا ٱلْجَسَدِيَّةِ ٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ،‏ فَنَتَجَنَّبُ كُلَّ مَا قَدْ يُثِيرُ فِينَا رَغْبَةً جِنْسِيَّةً تِجَاهَ شَخْصٍ لَيْسَ رَفِيقَ زَوَاجِنَا .‏
