'Desire' in the Bible
having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.
Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;
But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;
For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person—for that one is [in effect] an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God].
