not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.
