1. Why do you fight and argue with each other? Isn't it because you are full of selfish desires that fight to control your body?
2. You want something you don't have, and you will do anything to get it. You will even kill! But you still cannot get what you want, and you won't get it by fighting and arguing. You should pray for it.
3. Yet even when you do pray, your prayers are not answered, because you pray just for selfish reasons.
4. You people aren't faithful to God! Don't you know that if you love the world, you are God's enemies? And if you decide to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.
5. Do you doubt the Scriptures that say, “God truly cares about the Spirit he has put in us”?
6. In fact, God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say,“God opposes everyonewho is proud,but he is kind to everyonewho is humble.”
7. Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you.
