James 4:1-3
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1
What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is the source not your pleasures that wage war in your body’s parts?
2
You lust and do not have,
so
you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain,
so
you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
3
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, so that you may spend
what you request
on your pleasures.
King James Version
Chapter 4
1
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
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.
3
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1
What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war within you?
2
You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and wage war. You do not have because you do not ask.
3
You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
1
What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?
2
You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
3
And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong — you want only what will give you pleasure.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
1
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
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.
3
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
New International Version
Chapter 4
1
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
2
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
3
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
New King James Version
Chapter 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?
2
You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend
it
on your pleasures.
