James 4:1-3

JUB

NIV

1 Where do the wars and disputes <em>come</em> from among you? From here <em>that is to say</em>, of your lusts which fight in your members?
1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
2 Ye covet and have not; ye murder, and have envy and cannot obtain; ye fight and war and have not that which ye desire because ye ask not.
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 Ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume <em>it</em> upon 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.
