Where do wars and fightings come from among you? Do they not come from your lusts that war in your members?

You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.

And Jehovah smelled a soothing aroma. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of man, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again smite every living thing as I have done.

When I saw among the spoils a beautiful garment from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.

And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.

And it happened at night time, that David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very pleasant in appearance.

And David sent and inquired after the woman. And someone said, Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it is good in your eyes, I will give you its price in money.

So Ahab went into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door,

so that my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand;

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside, so that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is this not a lie in my right hand?

O Israel, you are destroyed, but your help is in Me.

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Has then that which is good become death to me? Let it not be! But sin, that it might appear to be sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

but exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, that not any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
