'Desires' in the Bible

Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

And have knowledge of his desires, and are a judge of the things which are different, having the learning of the law,

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

But sin seized the opportunity provided by this commandment and produced in me all kinds of sinful desires, since apart from the Law, sin is dead.

For those who are living according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh [which gratify the body], but those who are living according to the Spirit, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit [His will and purpose].

And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.

because such people are not serving the Messiah our Lord, but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
