James 4:3-5
English Standard Version
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask (A)wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 (B)You adulterous people![a] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? (C)Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit (D)that he has made to dwell in us”?
