St James 4:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?

2. You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not.

3. You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.

4. Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.
