1 Donde vêm as guerras e contendas entre vós? Porventura não vêm disto, dos vossos deleites, que nos vossos membros guerreiam?

2 Cobiçais e nada tendes; logo matais. Invejais, e não podeis alcançar; logo combateis e fazeis guerras. Nada tendes, porque não pedis.

1 What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

2 You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.
