The lust of the flesh

But I say to you that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, And make no provisions for your earthly nature And the gratification of its lusts.

Now this happened as a warning for us, that we might not long for evil things as they longed.

For the desire of the flesh is against that of the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against that of the flesh, for they two are antagonistic, so that you may not do those things that you wish.

And among them we all once passed our lives, indulging the passions of our flesh, carrying out the dictates of our senses and temperament, and were by nature the children of wrath like all the rest.

And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;

For we were ourselves once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaving for various lusts and pleasures, passing our lives in malice and envy. We were hateful, and we hated one another.

Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,

I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.

so that in future you may not spend your life in the flesh according to men's desires, but in the will of God.

especially those who spend their lives following the flesh in the lust of defilement, and in despising all authority. Audacious and willful, they feel no awe in railing against dignities;

For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.

And the lust

Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,

And the devil led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time, and the devil said to him.

And the pride

"And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, For no one buys their merchandise any more??12 Merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones, Of pearls, and fine linen, and purple and silk and scarlet; All citron wood, and vessels of ivory, And vessels of rare wood and brass and iron and marble;

Is not

Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high, but is earthly, sensual, demonlike.

"Store up for yourselves no treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
