ACV(i)
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.
