James 4:1-8 FROM whence come conflicts and quarrels among you? Is it not from the lusts that war in your members?

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ FROM whence come conflicts and quarrels among you? Is it not from the lusts that war in your members? ² You covet, and do not obtain; you kill and envy, but you cannot possess; you strive and fight, yet you have nothing, because you do not ask. ³ You ask and you do not receive because you do not ask sincerely, you ask that you may satisfy your lusts. ⁴ O you adulterers! Do you not know that the love for worldly things is enmity with God? Whosoever, therefore, esteems worldly things is the enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you think that the scripture said in vain, The pride that dwells in us is provoked by jealousy? ⁶ But our LORD has given us abundant grace. Therefore he said, God humbles the proud, but gives grace to the humble. ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist Satan, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, O you sinners! And purify your hearts, O you of doubtful mind!
