1What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’ t they come from the passions at war within you?
2You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
— James 4:1-3
