'Desirous' in the Bible

Do not desire his delicacies,For it is deceptive food [offered to you with questionable motives].

Gather yourselves together [in repentance], yes, gather [in submission],O nation without shame,

Having such a deep affection for you, we were delighted to share with you not only God’s good news but also our own lives, because you had become so very dear to us.
