And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
