Explanation:
The Bible writer James described sin as beginning with a thought or desire: “Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death” (James 1:15). This is in line with Jesus’ earlier comment at Matthew 5:28: “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
In the very beginning, the Bible describes Eve as beginning to desire the forbidden fruit, and by not dismissing that thought or desire, committing sin. “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.” Later, Adam too failed to challenge the thought of disobeying God and also ate. - Genesis 3:6
The reaction Jesus had to Satan’s temptations was to immediately dismiss any thought or desire to disobey God. On more than one occasion, Jesus rebuked Satan for tempting him to sin and he incessantly prayed to his father for strength. - Matthew 4:10; 16:23; Hebrews 5:7
Sinful thoughts are those thoughts that lead us to sin in our hearts (in spirit) or in flesh (in physical terms).
'Sinful thought' is the thought that Portia is contained in the silver casket because silver has only a tenth of the value of gold and a rich gem like Portia can never be set in anything less than gold.
