Bible Question:
I would appreciate any insight and/or other scripture references that might help me understand this scripture better. I am interested in 1 John 2:15-17. Specifically the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. Thank You, JAL |
Bible Answer: I think Kalos gave a good answer, I'll just add this: Gen 3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food (the lust of the flesh), and that it was a delight to the eyes (the lust of the eyes), and that the tree was desirable to make one wise (the pride of life), she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Love in Christ, Mark |
