rsv James:4:1-5
rsv@James:4:1 @ What causes wars, and what causes fightings among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?
rsv@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
rsv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
rsv@James:4:4 @ Unfaithful creatures! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
rsv@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us"?
