James 4:1
Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
James 4:2
You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet [fn] you do not have because you do not ask.
James 4:3
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures
