James 4:1-3

CSB

NIV

1 What is the source of the wars and the fights among you? Don't they come from the cravings that are at war within you?
1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
2 You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.
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 You ask and don't receive because you ask wrongly, so that you may spend it on your desires for pleasure.
3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
