James 4:2 in Context — James 4
1 De onde [vêm] as guerras e brigas entre vós? Acaso não [vêm] disto, das vossas cobiças que guerreiam nos membros do vosso corpo?
2 Cobiçais, e nada tendes; matais e sois invejosos, mas não conseguis obter; combateis e guerreais, mas nada tendes, porque não pedis.
3 Pedis, e não recebeis, porque pedis mal, para gastardes nos vossos prazeres.
4 Adúlteros e adúlteras, não sabeis que a amizade do mundo é inimizade contra Deus? Portanto, quem quiser ser amigo do mundo constitui-se inimigo de Deus.
