| 4:1 |
From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] from your lusts that war in your members?
|
| 4:2 |
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.
|
| 4:3 |
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.
|
| 4:4 |
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
|
| 4:5 |
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
|
| 4:6 |
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
|
| 4:7 |
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
|
| 4:8 |
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners, and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double-minded.
|
| 4:9 |
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
|
| 4:10 |
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
|
| 4:11 |
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
|
| 4:12 |
There is one lawgiver, who is able to save, and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
|
| 4:13 |
Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy, and sell, and get gain:
|
| 4:14 |
Whereas ye know not what [will be] on the morrow: For what [is] your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
|
| 4:15 |
Instead of that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
|
| 4:16 |
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
|
| 4:17 |
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
