James 4:2-7

Wesley(i) 2 Ye desire and have not, ye kill, and envy, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may expend it on your pleasures. 4 Ye adulterers and adultresses, know ye not, that the friendship of the world is enmity against God? Whosoever therefore desireth to be a friend of the world, is an enemy of God. 5 Do ye think, that the scripture saith in vain, The Spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth against envy? 6 But he giveth greater grace: therefore it saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. 7 Submit yourselves, therefore, to God: resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
