James 4:1-4

Warning Against Worldliness

1What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions
Greek pleasures; also verse 3
are bat war within you?
Greek in your members
2You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3You ask and do not receive, because you ask dwrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 eYou adulterous people!
Greek  You adulteresses!
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? gTherefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
