4:1  
    [kjv]  From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
    [bbe]  What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?
4:2
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.
4:3
    [kjv]  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
    [bbe]  You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.
4:4  
    [kjv]  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.

4:6  
    [kjv]  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
    [bbe]  But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.
4:7
    [kjv]  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
    [bbe]  For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.
4:8  
    [kjv]  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
    [bbe]  Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.
