'Desire' in the Bible

Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;

At last our desire to have news of you was so strong that, while we ourselves were waiting at Athens,

And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;

But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope.

And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.
