'Desire' in the Bible
And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.
But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,
For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.
But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.
I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.
For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire--do you not? --to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.
