James 4:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not.

³ You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.

⁴ Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.
