MNT(i)
1 Where do the conflicts and quarrels that go on among you come from? Do they not come from your passions which are always making war among your bodily members?
2 You continually crave and do not obtain; you are killing and coveting and cannot acquire; you are fighting and at war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3 You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon your pleasures.
4 You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy of God.
5 Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"
6 But he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually.
