A Warning against Pride
4 What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?[fn] 2 You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
4 You adulteresses![fn] Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself [fn] an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit [fn] He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy? 6 But He gives us more grace. This is why it says:
“God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”[fn]
