Tiago 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

James 4:3

Ye ask, and receive not
Some there were that did ask of God the blessings of his goodness and providence, and yet these were not bestowed on them; the reason was,

because ye ask amiss;
not in the faith of a divine promise; nor with thankfulness for past mercies; nor with submission to the will of God; nor with a right end, to do good to others, and to make use of what might be bestowed, for the honour of God, and the interest of Christ: but

that ye may consume it upon your lusts;
indulge to intemperance and luxury; as the man that had much goods laid up for many years did, to the neglect of his own soul, ( Luke 12:19 ) or the rich man, who spent all upon his back and his belly, and took no notice of Lazarus at his gate; ( Luke 16:19 ) .

Tiago 4:3 In-Context

1 De onde vĂȘm as guerras e contendas que hĂĄ entre vocĂȘs? NĂŁo vĂȘm das paixĂ”es que guerreiam dentro de vocĂȘs?
2 VocĂȘs cobiçam coisas, mas nĂŁo as tĂȘm; matam e invejam, mas nĂŁo conseguem obter o que desejam. VocĂȘs vivem a lutar e a fazer guerras. NĂŁo tĂȘm, porque nĂŁo pedem.
3 Quando pedem, nĂŁo recebem, pois pedem por motivos errados, para gastar em seus prazeres.
4 AdĂșlteros, vocĂȘs nĂŁo sabem que a amizade com o mundo Ă© inimizade com Deus? Quem quer ser amigo do mundo faz-se inimigo de Deus.
5 Ou vocĂȘs acham que Ă© sem razĂŁo que a Escritura diz que o EspĂ­rito que ele fez habitar em nĂłs tem fortes ciĂșmes?
