'Passions' in the Bible
For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,
and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
But do not accept younger widows on the list, because their passions may lead them away from Christ and they will desire to marry,
But keep away from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, in company with others who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.
For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another.
Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle inside you?
you ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so you can spend it on your passions.
