King James | 1Co 10:6 | Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
LUST | Originally meant any longing desire, however innocent, De 12:15 14:26. But, in tacit acknowledgment of the depravity of man's passions, general usage soon attached the idea of guilt to the word; and now it usually denotes carnal, lascivious desire. In Ga 5:17, we see that the aspirations of the heart renewed by the Holy Spirit, oppose and will subdue the native evil desires, 1Co 15:57; but in the unrenewed heart these reign uncontrolled, lead to greater and greater outwards sin, and secure eternal death, Jas 1:14,15. |
