James 4:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁵ Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
