James 4:5-12

5DoG2228 ye thinkG1380 thatG3754 the scriptureG3588G1124 saithG3004 in vainG2761, The spiritG3588G4151 thatG3739 dwellethG2730 inG1722 usG1473 lustethG1971 toG4314 envyG5355? 6ButG1161 he givethG1325 moreG3173 graceG5485. WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, GodG3588G2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, butG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 unto the humbleG5011. 7

Submit yourselvesG5293 thereforeG3767 to GodG3588G2316. ResistG436 the devilG1228, andG2532 he will fleeG5343 fromG575 youG4771. 8Draw nighG1448 to GodG3588G2316, andG2532 he will draw nighG1448 to youG4771. CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, ye sinnersG268; andG2532 purifyG48 your heartsG2588, ye double mindedG1374. 9Be afflictedG5003, andG2532 mournG3996, andG2532 weepG2799: letG3344 yourG4771 laughterG3588G1071 be turnedG3344 toG1519 mourningG3997, andG2532 your joyG3588G5479 toG1519 heavinessG2726. 10Humble yourselvesG5013 in the sight ofG1799 the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 he shall liftG5312 youG4771 upG5312.

11SpeakG2635 notG3361 evilG2635 one of anotherG240, brethrenG80. He thatG3588 speaketh evilG2635 ofG80 his brotherG80, andG2532 judgethG2919 hisG846 brotherG3588G80, speaketh evilG2635 of the lawG3551, andG2532 judgethG2919 the lawG3551: butG1161 ifG1487 thou judgeG2919 the lawG3551, thou artG1510 notG3756 a doerG4163 of the lawG3551, butG235 a judgeG2923. 12There isG1510 oneG1520 lawgiverG3588G3550, whoG3588 is ableG1410 to saveG4982 andG2532 to destroyG622: whoG5101 artG1510 thouG4771 thatG3739 judgestG2919 anotherG2087?
