James 4

1Whence [come] warsG4171 and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, — from your pleasures, which warG4171 in your membersG3196? 2Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and warG4170; ye have not because ye askG154 not. 3Ye askG154 and receiveG2983 not, because ye askG154 evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures. 4Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the worldG2889 isG1510 enmity with 1GodG2316? Whoever thereforeG3767 isG1510 minded to beG1510 [the] friendG5384 of the worldG2889 isG1510 constituted enemyG2190 of 2GodG2316. 5ThinkG1380 ye that the scriptureG1124 speaksG3004 in vain? Does the SpiritG4151 which has taken his abode in us desire enviously? 6But he givesG1325 more graceG5485. Wherefore he saysG3004, 3GodG2316 sets himself against [the] proud, but givesG1325 graceG5485 to [the] lowly. 7SubjectG5293 yourselvesG4771 thereforeG3767 to 4GodG2316. ResistG436 the devilG1228, and he will fleeG5343 from you. 8DrawG1448 near to 5GodG2316, and he will drawG1448 near to you. CleanseG2511 [your] handsG5495, sinnersG268, and purifyG48 [your] heartsG2588, ye double-minded. 9Be wretched, and mournG3996, and weepG2799: let your laughter be turned to mourningG3997, and [your] joyG5479 to heaviness. 10HumbleG5013 yourselvesG4771 before [the] LordG2962, and he shall exaltG5312 you. 11SpeakG2635 not against oneG240 another, brethren. He that speaksG2635 against [his] brotherG80, or judgesG2919 his brotherG80, speaksG2635 against [the] lawG3551 and judgesG2919 [the] lawG3551. But if thou judgest [the] lawG3551, thou art not doerG4163 of [the] lawG3551, but judgeG2919. 12OneG1520 isG1510 the lawgiver and judgeG2919, who isG1510 ableG1410 to saveG4982 and to destroyG622: but who art thou who judgest thy neighbour? 13GoG4198 to nowG3568, ye who sayG3004, To-day or to-morrow will we goG4198 into such a cityG4172 and spend a yearG1763 there, and traffic and makeG4160 gainG2770, 14ye who do not knowG1987 what will beG1510 on the morrow, ([for] what [isG1510] your lifeG2222? It isG1510 evenG2532 a vapour, appearing for a littleG3641 while, and then disappearing,) 15insteadG473 of your sayingG3004, If the LordG2962 should [so] will and we should liveG2198, we will alsoG2532 do this or that. 16But nowG1161 ye glory in your vauntings: all suchG5108 glorying isG1510 evilG4190. 17To him thereforeG3767 who knows how to do goodG2570, and does it not, to him it isG1510 sinG266.
