You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you don't fall into hypocrisy.
