Desiring is not sin. Actions are.

1 John 3:4 - Sin is transgressing against the Father’s instructions. A modern example would be a man seeing a beautiful young woman. He desires her, so he approaches her and asks if she has a man. Neither the man - nor the woman are in sin. If...

Exactly. That is a desire in a man's heart that is wrong, and that is sin. Cheers -
