The term "lusty" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible , but it is often associated with vigor, strength, and robust health. In a biblical context, the concept of being "lusty" can be understood through its association with vitality and physical strength, as well as its potential connection to desires and passions that can lead one away from spiritual righteousness.

Biblical Context and Usage:

1. Strength and Vitality:
The idea of being "lusty" in terms of strength and vitality can be seen in various biblical passages that describe individuals or nations as strong and vigorous. For example, in the Old Testament, the strength of young men is often highlighted as a symbol of vitality and potential. In Proverbs 20:29 , it is written, "The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is their gray hair." This verse underscores the value placed on physical strength and vigor, which can be associated with the concept of being "lusty."

2. Desires and Passions:
While "lusty" can imply physical robustness, it is also important to consider the biblical warnings against unchecked desires and passions. The Bible frequently cautions against lustful behavior, which can lead to sin. In 1 John 2:16 , it states, "For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world." Here, the "desires of the flesh" can be seen as a caution against allowing one's physical desires to dominate one's spiritual life.

3. Moral Implications:
The Bible often contrasts physical desires with spiritual discipline. In Galatians 5:16-17 , the Apostle Paul writes, "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh." This passage highlights the tension between living a life led by the Spirit and succumbing to the lusts of the flesh, which can be understood as a warning against being "lusty" in a way that leads to moral compromise.

4. Examples and Warnings:
The Bible provides examples of individuals who succumbed to their lustful desires, leading to their downfall. King David's sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11) serves as a poignant reminder of how unchecked desires can lead to grave consequences. David's initial lustful gaze led to adultery and eventually to murder, illustrating the destructive potential of being "lusty" in a sinful manner.

5. Spiritual Strength:
While physical strength and vitality are valued, the Bible places a greater emphasis on spiritual strength and resilience. Ephesians 6:10 encourages believers, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." This call to spiritual strength serves as a counterbalance to the potential pitfalls of being "lusty" in a purely physical sense, urging believers to seek strength in their relationship with God.

In summary, while the term "lusty" may not appear explicitly in the Berean Standard Bible, its implications can be understood through the biblical themes of physical strength, desires, and the importance of spiritual discipline. The Bible encourages believers to harness their vitality for righteous purposes and to guard against the dangers of unchecked desires that can lead one away from God's path.
