G1939–ἐπιθυμία–epithumia

Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,

ἐπιθυμιῶν, epithumiōn “desires,”

no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

ἐπιθυμίαις, epithumiais “desires”

for sufficient to us `is' the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

ἐπιθυμίαις, epithumiais “in lusts,”

through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.

ἐπιθυμίᾳ epithumia “desire”

and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of,

ἐπιθυμίᾳ epithumia “[the] passion”

for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

ἐπιθυμίαις epithumiais “[the] passions”

this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,

ἐπιθυμίας epithumias “evil desires”

because all that `is' in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

ἐπιθυμία epithumia “desire”ἐπιθυμία epithumia “desire”

and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.

ἐπιθυμία epithumia “desire”

These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;

ἐπιθυμίας epithumias “lusts”

that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on,

ἐπιθυμίας epithumias “passions”

`And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.

ἐπιθυμίας epithumias “desire”
