James 4:1-7 From where are wars and fightings among you? Is it not from here: from your pleasures warring in your body-parts?

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ From where are wars and fightings among you? Is it not from here: from your pleasures warring in your body-parts? ² Ye desire and do not have, so ye murder. And ye envy and cannot obtain, so ye fight and make war. Ye do not have, because ye do not ask. ³ Ye ask, and do not receive, because ye ask wrongly, so that ye may spend on your pleasures. ⁴ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is hatred of God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. ⁵ Or think ye that the scripture says vainly, The Spirit that he caused to dwell in us yearns with jealousy? ⁶ But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the arrogant, but gives grace to the lowly. ⁷ Be subordinate therefore to God, but resist the devil and he will flee from you.
