Tiago 4:3

Listen to Tiago 4:3
3 Quando pedem, não recebem, pois pedem por motivos errados, para gastar em seus prazeres.

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 vêm as guerras e contendas que há entre vocês? Não vêm das paixões que guerreiam dentro de vocês?
2 Vocês cobiçam coisas, mas não as têm; matam e invejam, mas não conseguem obter o que desejam. Vocês vivem a lutar e a fazer guerras. Não têm, porque não pedem.
3 Quando pedem, não recebem, pois pedem por motivos errados, para gastar em seus prazeres.
4 Adúlteros, vocês não sabem que a amizade com o mundo é inimizade com Deus? Quem quer ser amigo do mundo faz-se inimigo de Deus.
5 Ou vocês acham que é sem razão que a Escritura diz que o Espírito que ele fez habitar em nós tem fortes ciúmes?
