야고보서 4장 2-3절

  여러분은 욕심을 부려도 얻지 못하면 살인을 하고, 탐내어도 가지지 못하면 다투고 싸웁니다. 여러분이 얻지 못하는 것은 구하지 않기 때문이요, 구하여도 얻지 못하는 것은 자기가 쾌락을 누리는 데에 쓰려고 잘못 구하기 때문입니다._새번역성경

あなたがたは、むさぼるが 得られない。そこで 人殺しをする、熱望するが 手に 入れることができない。そこで 争い 戦う。あなたがたは、求めないから 得られないのだ。求めても 与えられないのは、快楽のために 使おうとして、悪い 求め 方をするからだ。_口語訳 

 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. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. _NASB

You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way._The Message
