James 4:2-3

KJV

NIV

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, 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 it upon your lusts.
3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
