The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

James 4:3-4
<< James 3 | James 4 | James 5 >>

You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! [1] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
