On lust (not exhaustive) :

Mt 5: 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

1 Jn 2: 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

Proverbs 6: 25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
