Another related term is אָוָה (avah, Strong's Hebrew 183), which also conveys the idea of longing or craving. These terms similarly reflect the dual nature of desire, encompassing both legitimate and illegitimate yearnings. Usage: The verb ἐπιθυμέω is used in the New Testament to express a strong desire or longing. It can denote a legitimate desire, such as a longing for something good or righteous, or an illegitimate desire, such as coveting or lusting after something forbidden. Context: The Greek verb ἐπιθυμέω appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, illustrating the dual nature of human desire. In a positive sense, it can describe a deep longing for spiritual gifts or the kingdom of God. For example, in Luke 22:15, Jesus expresses a fervent desire to eat the Passover with His disciples: "And He said to them, 'I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.'"
