Colossians 3:5:
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
(NIV)
So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).
(AMP)
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(KJV)
|
Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions; concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.
|
The five senses are horse sense, innocence, common sense, concupiscence, and nonsense.

1 Thessalonians 4:5:
Not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God
(NIV)
Not [to be used] in the passion of lust like the heathen, who are ignorant of the true God and have no knowledge of His will
(AMP)
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
(KJV)
