<< Mark 4:18 Mark 4:20 >>
Mark 4:19
The lusts of other things (ai peri ta loipa epiqumiai). All the passions or longings, sensual, worldly, "pleasures of this life" (hdonwn tou biou) as Luke has it (Luke 8:14), the world of sense drowning the world of spirit. The word epiqumia is not evil in itself. One can yearn (this word) for what is high and holy (Luke 22:15; Philippians 1:23).
