NASB | James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 4:3 You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires. |
Subject: Is James 4:3 completely true? |
Bible Note: Thank you for the encouragement, brother John. Isn't God marvellous, and only He truly knows what we need and what is good for us? Doesn't He, only He know what our real problem is? Isn't He so loving and gracious that before we ask, He gives (i.e. before we realize our own problem, He takes the initiative step to show where we err). What shall we say but Halelujah to Him in the highest! Shalom Azure |
