James 4:1-3

11WhatG4159 is the sourceG4159 of quarrelsG4171 and 2conflictsG3163 amongG1722 you? 3Is not the sourceG1782 your pleasuresG2237 that wageG4754 4warG4754 in your membersG3196?

2You lustG1937 and do not haveG2192; so you 5commitG5407 murderG5407. You are enviousG2206 and cannotG1410G3756 obtainG2013; so you fightG3164 and quarrelG4170. You do not haveG2192 becauseG1223 you do not askG154.

3You askG154 and 6do not receiveG2983, becauseG1360 you askG154 7with wrongG2560 motivesG2560, soG2443 that you may spendG1159 it 8on your pleasuresG2237.
