James 4:2-7

1. 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

2. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

3. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

4. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

5. 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

6. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
