James 4:1-4

1From whenceG4159 come warsG4171 andG2532 fightingsG3163 amongG1722 youG4771? come they notG3756 henceG1782, even ofG1537 yourG4771 lustsG3588G2237 that warG4754 inG1722 yourG4771 membersG3588G3196?

2Ye lustG1937, andG2532 haveG2192 notG3756: ye killG5407, andG2532 desire to haveG2206, andG2532 cannotG1410 obtainG2013: ye fightG3164 andG2532 warG4170, yetG1161 ye haveG2192 notG3756, becauseG1223 yeG4771 askG154 notG3361.

3Ye askG154, andG2532 receiveG2983 notG3756, becauseG1360 ye askG154 amissG2560, thatG2443 ye may consumeG1159 it uponG1722 yourG4771 lustsG3588G2237.

4Ye adulterersG3432 andG2532 adulteressesG3428, know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the friendshipG3588G5373 of the worldG3588G2889 isG1510 enmityG2189 with GodG3588G2316? whosoeverG3739G302 thereforeG3767 willG1014 beG1510 a friendG5384 of the worldG3588G2889 isG2525 the enemyG2190 of GodG3588G2316.
