Predicate vs Attributive use of Article

In Eph 4:22 we have:
   TAS EPIQUMIAS THS APATHS

Does the difference between predicate and attributive apply to nouns in the
genitive case?

Does the above refer to

   Those particular strong desires which are deceitful.

or can it just as likely refer to

   All the strong desires we have and they are all characterized by
   deceitfulness.

Thanks ahead of time for answering this simple but general question.

       There is no 'do' in faith, everywhere present within it is 'done'.
