NASB | James 4:2 You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 4:2 You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your lust goes unfulfilled; so you murder. You are envious and cannot obtain [the object of your envy]; so you fight and battle. You do not have because you do not ask [it of God]. [1 John 3:15] |
Bible Question: What does this mean? |
Bible Answer: Sushod, Hi and it so good to hear from you. Regarding James 4:2, I have another observation. James 4:2 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. KJV First you lust, and why do you lust, because you (DESIRE) something that is unatainable really because it is contrary to LOVE and by Love you truly obtain what is profitable, ye kill and desire to have, but by killing do you really obtain by killing the MOST IMPORTANT thing that is really needed in LOVE, and then ye fight and war, and ye have not because ye ask not. You fight and war for what you feel is rightfully yours, but ye ask not because if you truly trust in the Father then all things are yours and there's not need for all of this. But if your mind and heart is in lust in all three areas. Doesn't it say in, Matt 7:7-8 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. KJV I can see in this verse that if we do things in the lust of the flesh we will never obtain what is truly important in LOVE of the Father through Iesous (Jesus). We need to trust our Father. But then again there are others that Lust and are not of the Father. Do you agree? I hope I have been a help, In the Living Water of Truth, SERENETIME |
