⁶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

¹⁶ Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

¹⁴ And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

¹⁴ But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

¹⁵ Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

² Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

²¹ When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.

¹² For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

¹³ Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

¹⁴ But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

¹⁵ But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

¹⁶ And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

¹⁷ For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

¹⁹ Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

²⁸ But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

⁷ But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.

²⁵ And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.

¹⁶ Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.

¹ I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?

¹ Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.

² And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.

⁷ And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

² The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.

¹⁷ And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.

¹² And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.

²¹ Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.
