"Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?"
— James 4:1, World English Bible
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”
“Whence comewars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members? ”
“Passions and Pride Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle inside you?”
“From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?”
“What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?”
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”
Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
