I got this from a hotel bible XDD
1. Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
2. You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

LIVING BIBLE
4:1 What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn't it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you? 2 You want what you don't have, so you kill to get it. You long for what others have, and can't afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don't have what you want is that you don't ask God for it. 3 And even when you do ask you don't get it because your whole aim is wrong-you want only what will give you pleasure.
TLB
James 4:1-3
What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?
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.
James 4:1-3
What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?
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.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not recieve, because you ask for the wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."
A harsh conundrum indeed. This is why I don't think I can ask God for helping me with my unfortunate luck with women. It immediately seems like I want a woman in my life for my own self-gratification, which God clearly doesn't approve of. The only OTHER thing I can want from this is to give my would-be gf the opportunity to have a good, decent man in her life, and I can't ask for THAT without sounding like a concieted prick. *lol*

Just for you will I open my Bible again. I think he was gently reminding them that all the wars and strife was coming from the evil inside them. Because of their evilness they ask for evil things and therefore God will not, cannot give them what they want. It does not sound that God is pleased, as I bet you anything the are commiting murder in God's name.
Hope that little bit helps.
Blessed Be & hugs to you

Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You lust for what you don't have and are willing to kill to get it. 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.
From The Message. Man, that's pretty powerful!

1 ¿De qué fuente son las guerras y de qué fuente son las peleas entre ustedes? ¿No son de esta fuente, a saber, de sus deseos vehementes de placer sensual que se hallan en conflicto en sus miembros? 2 Ustedes desean, y sin embargo no tienen. Siguen asesinando y codiciando, y sin embargo no pueden obtener. Siguen peleando y guerreando. No tienen, porque no piden. 3 Sà piden, y sin embargo no reciben, porque piden con un propósito malo, para gastar[lo] en los deseos vehementes que tienen de placer sensual. (santiago 4:1-3)
1 From what source are there wars and from what source are there fights among YOU? Are they not from this source, namely, from YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure that carry on a conflict in YOUR members? 2 YOU desire, and yet YOU do not have. YOU go on murdering and coveting, and yet YOU are not able to obtain. YOU go on fighting and waging war. YOU do not have because of YOUR not asking. 3 YOU do ask, and yet YOU do not receive, because YOU are asking for a wrong purpose, that YOU may expend [it] upon YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure. ( James 4:1-3)
1 Da dove vengono le guerre e da dove vengono le lotte fra voi? Non vengono da questo, cioè dalle vostre brame di piacere sensuale che causano un conflitto nelle vostre membra? 2 Voi desiderate, eppure non avete. Continuate ad assassinare e a concupire e non potete ottenere. Continuate a combattere e a far guerra. Non avete perché non chiedete. 3 Chiedete e non ricevete, perché chiedete per uno scopo empio, per spendere nelle vostre brame di piacere sensuale. (Giacomo 4:1-3)

NASB
1What is the source of quarrels and (A)conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage (B)war in your members?
2You lust and do not have; so you (C)commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
3You ask and (D)do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
NIV
1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
KJV
1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2Ye 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.
3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
