James 4:3

‌ʻOku mou kole, pea ʻikai maʻu koeʻuhi ʻoku mou kole kovi, koeʻuhi ke mou fakaʻosi ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi holi.

KO E TOHI TAPU KĀTOA

In The King James Version

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

In Context

2‌ʻOku mou holi kae ʻikai maʻu: ʻoku mou tāmateʻi, mo feinga ke maʻu, kae ʻikai faʻa lavaʻi: ʻoku mou fekeʻikeʻi mo tau, kae ʻikai te mou maʻu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou kole.

4‌ʻAe kau tono fefine mo e kau tono tangata, ʻikai te mou ʻilo ko e feʻofoʻofani mo māmani ko e taufehiʻa ia ki he ʻOtua? Pea ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke kāinga mo māmani ko e fili ia ʻoe ʻOtua.
