Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
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).
