Abstain from Lust
Published in Bible Verses
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

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
John 3:19-21 NKJV

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
