Revised Version 1895
James 4:1-6
1Whence comeG1537 warsG4171 andG2532 whence comeG1537 fightings amongG1722 youG5210? comeG1537 theyG2532 notG3756 henceG2532, evenG2532 ofG1537 yourG2532 pleasuresG2237 thatG1722 warG4171 inG1722 yourG2532 membersG3196?
2Ye lustG1937, andG2532 have notG3756: ye kill, andG2532 covetG1937, andG2532 cannotG3756 obtainG2192: ye fightG3164 andG2532 warG4170; ye have notG3756, becauseG1223 ye askG154 notG3756.
3Ye askG154, andG2532 receiveG2983 notG3756, becauseG1360 ye askG154 amiss, thatG2443 ye mayG2532 spendG1159 itG2532 inG1722 yourG2532 pleasuresG2237.
4Ye adulteressesG3428, knowG1492 ye notG3756 thatG3754 theG3588 friendshipG5373 ofG2316 theG3588 worldG2889 isG1510 enmity withG2316 GodG2316? Whosoever thereforeG3767 wouldG2889 beG1510 aG1510 friendG5384 ofG2316 theG3588 worldG2889 maketh himself anG1510 enemyG2190 ofG2316 GodG2316.
5OrG2228 thinkG1380 ye thatG3754 theG3588 scriptureG1124 speaketh inG1722 vain? Doth theG3588 spiritG4151 whichG3739 heG3739 madeG3004 toG4314 dwellG2730 inG1722 usG3004 longG1971 unto envyingG5355?
6ButG1161 heG3004 giveth moreG3173 graceG5485. WhereforeG1352 theG3588 scriptureG3004 saith, GodG2316 resisteth theG3588 proudG3173, butG1161 giveth graceG5485 toG3004 theG3588 humbleG5011.
