26 All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back.
12 I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.
1 To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah.
41 Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
8 Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;
4 And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
1 I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?
13 And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.
16 But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.
2 You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.
10 For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.
16 Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.
13 Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.
5 Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;
28 Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned?
5 Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven.
7 What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.
8 We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
4 Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.
17 And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever.
21 For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.
2 But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.
13 Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:
1 Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.
13 You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.
