Paixão

4 that each man among you shall know how to procure a wife who shall be his own in purity and honour;

5 that you be not overmastered by lustful cravings, like the Gentiles who have no knowledge of God;

11 Dear friends, I entreat you as pilgrims and foreigners not to indulge the cravings of your lower natures: for all such cravings wage war upon the soul.

5 Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations–fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

24 Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature with its passions and appetites.

31 Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.

3 For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;

4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and will turn aside to fables.

26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

27 in just the same way –neglecting that for which nature intends women– burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

9 If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.

3 or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another.
