James 4:5-12
5OrG2228 do you thinkG1380 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 saysG3004 without reasonG2761 that theG3588 SpiritG41511 He caused to dwellG2730 inG1722 usG1473 yearnsG1971 withG4314 envyG5355? 6ButG1161 He givesG1325 us moreG3173 graceG5485. This is whyG1352 it saysG3004:
7Submit yourselvesG5293, thenG3767, to GodG2316. ResistG436 theG3588 devilG1228, andG2532 he will fleeG5343 fromG575 youG4771. 8Draw nearG1448 to GodG2316, andG2532 He will draw nearG1448 to youG4771. CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, you sinnersG268, andG2532 purifyG48 your heartsG2588, you double-mindedG1374. 9GrieveG5003, mournG3996, andG2532 weepG2799. TurnG3344 yourG4771 laughterG1071 toG1519 mourningG3997, andG2532 your joyG5479 toG1519 gloomG2726. 10Humble yourselvesG5013 beforeG1799 the LordG2962, andG2532 He will exaltG5312 youG4771.
11BrothersG80, do notG3361 slanderG2635 one anotherG240. Anyone whoG3588 speaks againstG2635 his brotherG80 orG2228 judgesG2919 him speaks againstG2635 the lawG3551 andG2532 judgesG2919 it. AndG1161 ifG1487 you judgeG2919 the lawG3551, you areG1510 notG3756 a practitionerG4163 of the lawG3551, butG235 a judgeG2923 of it. 12There isG1510 only oneG1520 LawgiverG3550 andG2532 JudgeG2923, theG3588 One who is ableG1410 to saveG4982 andG2532 destroyG622. ButG1161 whoG5101 areG1510 youG4771 to judgeG2919 your neighborG4139?
