Santiago 4:2-4
Palabra de Dios para Todos
2 Ustedes desean las cosas pero no las consiguen. Su envidia puede llegar hasta el extremo de matar y aun así no consiguen lo que quieren. Por eso discuten y pelean. No consiguen lo que quieren porque no se lo piden a Dios. 3 Y cuando le piden a Dios no reciben nada porque la razón por la que piden es mala, para poder gastar en sus propios placeres.
4 ¡Gente infiel! ¿No saben que amar al mundo es lo mismo que odiar a Dios? El que quiera convertirse en amigo del mundo se convierte en enemigo de Dios.

James 4:2-4
New International Version
2 You desire but do not have, so you kill.(A) 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,(B) because you ask with wrong motives,(C) that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4 You adulterous(D) people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world(E) means enmity against God?(F) Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.(G)

King James Version
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
