desire, Ro 7:8 (R.V., "coveting"); Col 3:5 (R.V., "desire"). The "lust of concupiscence" (1Th 4:5; R.V., "passion of lust") denotes evil desire, indwelling sin.
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.
not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
Concupiscence is intense desire, always in a bad sense, so that it is unnecessary to say 'evil concupiscence' as in Col 3:5. The reference is nearly always to sexual lust.
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.
