'Desire' in the Bible
Instead, each person is tempted by his own desire, being lured and trapped by it.
Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.
For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires.
Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
