Pride Promotes Strife
1 Where do1 wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure athat war in your members?
2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and1 war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3 aYou ask and do not receive, bbecause you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
4 1Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that afriendship with the world is enmity with God? bWhoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
