Notes on two important Greek words used in James 1:14
Lust. Ἐπιθυμια (lust) is old word for craving, to have a desire for either good (Phil. 1:23) or evil (Rom. 7:7) as here [James 1:14].
Enticed, old verb from "bait", to catch fish by bait or to hunt with snares. In N.T. only here and II Pet. 2:14, 18. Allured by definite bait.
