James 4:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² You lust and do not have; so you ^(A)commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. ³ You ask and ^(B)do not receive, because you ask ^[a]with wrong motives, so that you may spend it ^[b]on your pleasures. ⁴ You ^(C)adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with ^(D)the world is ^(E)hostility toward God? ^(F)Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
