James 4:1-2

Warning Against Worldliness

1 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions 1 are y at war within you? 2 2 You 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.
