1. Do you know where your fights and arguments come from? They come from the selfish desires that make war inside you.
2. You want things, but you do not have them. So you are ready to kill and are jealous of other people. But you still cannot get what you want. So you argue and fight. You do not get what you want because you do not ask God.
3. Or when you ask, you do not receive because the reason you ask is wrong. You want things only so that you can use them for your own pleasures.
4. So, you people are not loyal to God! You should know that loving the world is the same as hating God. So if a person wants to be a friend of the world, he makes himself God’s enemy.
5. Do you think the Scripture means nothing? It says, “The Spirit that God made to live in us wants us for himself alone.”
