1 What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures? 2 You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray; 3 or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another. James 4:1-3, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
