Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA
New International Version NIV
1 Where do all the fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your desires for pleasure, which are constantly fighting within you.
1
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
2 You want things, but you cannot have them, so you are ready to kill; you strongly desire things, but you cannot get them, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it.
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 And when you ask, you do not receive it, because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own 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.
