James 4:1-8 Whence wars and fightings among you? Do they not come hence, even from your lusts, which war in your members?

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Whence wars and fightings among you? Do they not come hence, even from your lusts, which war in your members? ² You strongly desire, and have not; you kill, and are zealous, and can not obtain. You fight and war, but have not, because you ask not. ³ You ask, and do not receive, because you ask wickedly, that you may spend upon your lusts. ⁴ Adulterers, and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity against God? Whosoever, therefore, will be a friend of the world, is counted an enemy of God. ⁵ Do you think that the scripture speaks in vain? And does the spirit, who dwells in us, strongly incline to envy? ⁶ But he gives greater favor. For it says, "God resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble." ⁷ Therefore, be subject to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you men of two minds.
