NO! NO! NO!
How can you make so many mistakes in just a couple of lines of text?
"Concupiscient" is not a word. It is a misspelling of "concupiscent", just as "concupiscience" is a misspelling of concupiscence. None of these options is a verb, with or without the split infinitive.
concupiscent is an adjective; concupiscence is a noun.
The suffix 'scient' generally pertains to knowledge, another pointer to the fact that this is a misspelling.

Maybe concupiscient means "knowledge of concupiscence?"
