James 4:1-3

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Fights And Battles Come From Your Pursuit of Worldly Desires

4 From-what-source are fights and from-what-source are battles among you? Are they not from-here— from your pleasures waging-war in your body-parts? ² You desire and do not have; you^[a] murder. And you are jealous and are not able to obtain; you battle and fight. You do not have because of your not asking! ³ You ask and do not receive because you ask badly^[b], in order that you may spend it in connection with your pleasures.
