James 4:2-7 You long for something and do not have it. You murder and envy and cannot obtain it. You battle and war. You do not have, because of your not asking.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ² You long for something and do not have it. You murder and envy and cannot obtain it. You battle and war. You do not have, because of your not asking. ³ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wickedly to waste it on your pleasures. ⁴ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God. ⁵ Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which he made dwell in us long enviously? ⁶ But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." ⁷ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.
