James:4:2-7
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"?
rsv@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace; therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
rsv@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
