The Bible in Its Traditions

James 4:2–3

Byz V
Nes TR
S

2  You lust and you do not have. You murder and are jealous and you cannot obtain. You fight and make war. You do not have because you do not ask.

2  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not.

2  You covet, and do not obtain; you kill and envy, but you cannot possess; you strive and fight, yet you have nothing, because you do not ask.

V S

3  You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend [it] in [gratifying] your lusts.

3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend [it] in your pleasures.

3  You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may use it toward your own desires.
