James 4:1-10 From whence cometh war, and fighting among you? Come they not here hence, even of your voluptuousness that raineth in your members?

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ From whence cometh war, and fighting among you? Come they not here hence, even of your voluptuousness that raineth in your members? ² Ye lust, and have not. Ye envy and have indignation, and cannot obtain. Ye fight and war, and have not, because ye ask not. ³ Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, even to consume it upon your voluptuousness. ⁴ Ye adulterers, and women that break matrimony: know ye not how that the friendship of the world is enmity to Godward? Whosoever will be friend of the world, is made the enemy of God. ⁵ Either do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, "The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy," ⁶ but giveth more grace? ⁷ Submit yourselves to God, and resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purge your hearts ye wavering minded. ⁹ Suffer afflictions: sorrow ye and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. ¹⁰ Cast down yourselves before the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
