James 4:2-3

NAS

NIV

2 You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
