1 Corinthians 3:3
New International Version
3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling(A) among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?
James 3:14-4:3
English Standard Version
14 But if you have bitter (A)jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not (B)the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, (C)demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But (D)the wisdom from above is first pure, then (E)peaceable, gentle, open to reason, (F)full of mercy and good fruits, (G)impartial and (H)sincere. 18 And (I)a harvest of righteousness (J)is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Warning Against Worldliness
4 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions[a] are (K)at war within you?[b] 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask (L)wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
James 3:14-4:3
New International Version
14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(A) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(B) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(C) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(D) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(E) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(F) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(G) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(H) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(I) 18 Peacemakers(J) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(K)
Submit Yourselves to God
4 What causes fights and quarrels(L) among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle(M) within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill.(N) You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive,(O) because you ask with wrong motives,(P) that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
