Bible verses about "wanting" | Lamsa

² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth,

³³ But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you.

¹ KNOW this: that in the last days disas trous times will come. ² And men shall be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, proud, conceited, blasphemers, disobedient to their own people, ungrateful, wicked, ³ False accusers, addicts to lust, brutal, haters of good things, ⁴ Traitors, hasty, boasters, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; ⁵ Having a form of godliness, but are far from the power of God: from such turn away. ⁶ For of this sort are those who creep into houses and captivate women sunken in sin, led away with divers lusts, ⁷ Ever striving to learn, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, ⁸ Now just as JanÆnes and JamÆbres stood up against Moses, so do these also resist the truth, men of corrupt minds and far off from the faith. ⁹ But they shall not progress, for their folly is well known to every man, as theirs also was. ¹⁰ But you have been a follower of my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, patience, charity, love, steadfastness, ¹¹ Persecution and sorrows: you know the things which I endured at Antioch, and at IcoÆni- um, and at LysÆtra; how I was persecuted; and yet from all these my LORD delivered me. ¹² Likewise, all those who wish to live a godly life in Jesus Christ shall suffer persecution. ¹³ But bad and deceptive men shall grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴ But hold fast to the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them; ¹⁵ And knowing that you have learned from your childhood the holy scriptures which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. ¹⁶ All scripture, written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷ So that GodÆs people may become perfect, thoroughly perfected for every good work.
