James 4:1

[The following paragraph is thematically related to chapter 2. There, the commandments not to commit adultery and not to murder are quoted, see James 2:11. Now these are repeated and explained in reverse order. Murder in verse 2 and adultery in verse 4.]
Where do all the fights and conflicts among you come from?
Don't they come from the desires that battle within your bodies?
