The Letter of Saint James 3: 16-4: 3
| 3:16 | For wherever envy and contention is, there too is inconstancy and every depraved work. |
| 3:17 | But within the wisdom that is from above, certainly, chastity is first, and next peacefulness, meekness, openness, consenting to what is good, a plenitude of mercy and good fruits, not judging, without falseness. |
| 3:18 | And so the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those who make peace. |
| 4:1 | Where do wars and contentions among you come from? Is it not from this: from your own desires, which battle within your members? |
| 4:2 | You desire, and you do not have. You envy and you kill, and you are unable to obtain. You argue and you fight, and you do not have, because you do not ask. |
| 4:3 | You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may use it toward your own desires. |
