"Control Our Worldly Desires" from Romans 7:7-13

Envy and Lust are sin.

The meaning of:
Concupiscence
desire, Rom. 7:8 (R.V., "coveting"); Col. 3:5 (R.V., "desire").
The "lust of concupiscence" (1 Thess. 4:5; R.V., "passion of
lust") denotes evil desire, indwelling sin.
without the law sin is dead. for without the law there are no transgressions.

14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.

Hebrews 3:13 New International Version (NIV)
13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
