Abstain from Lust

Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart

2 Timothy 2:22 NKJV


Lust not after her beauty in thine heart;
neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
For by means of a whorish woman a man
is brought to a piece of bread:
and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

Can a man take fire in his bosom,
and his clothes not be burned?
Can one go upon hot coals,
and his feet not be burned?
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife;
whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

Proverbs 6:25-29 KJV


Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

1 Peter 2:11,12 NASB
