Bible Verses about Desires

  • So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
  • So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
  • You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
  • And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
  • Can he walk on hot coals
    and not blister his feet?
  • But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
  • You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything.
  • Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
  • I made a covenant with my eyes
    not to look with lust at a young woman.
  • Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
  • For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
  • For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
  • Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
  • The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
  • As the deer longs for streams of water,
    so I long for you, O God.
  • Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!
  • And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.
  • Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
    our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.
  • And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
  • For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
  • Some people are always greedy for more,
    but the godly love to give!
  • In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,
    for it will sprout wings
    and fly away like an eagle.
  • Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
  • Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
  • And don’t let us yield to temptation,
    but rescue us from the evil one.

That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
