1 What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? They come from your desires for pleasure which are constantly fighting with you. 2 You want something which you cannot have, and so you are ready to kill; you are envious, and cannot attain your ambition, and so you quarrel and fight. You do not get what you want because you do not pray for it. 3 Or, if you do, your requests are not granted because you pray for the wrong motives, to spend what you get on your own pleasures.
