AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world--the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one's resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. |
Subject: The lust of the flesh |
Bible Note: For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. (AMPLIFIED 1 John 2:16) The lust of the flesh is "craving for sensual gratification." The lust of the eyes is "greedy longings of the mind." The pride of life is "assurance in one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things]." 1 John 2:16 :: New Living Translation (NLT) For the world offers only the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions. These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world. 1 John 2:16 :: New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Here is what people who belong to this world do. They try to satisfy what their sinful natures want to do. They long for what their sinful eyes look at. They brag about what they have and what they do. All of this comes from the world. It doesn't come from the Father. CROSS REFERENCES: "the lust of the flesh: Romans 13:14; Ephesians 2:3; 1 Peter 2:11 "the lust of the eyes" Proverbs 27:20 "the boastful pride of life" James 4:16 |
