mnt@James:4:1 @ Where do the conflicts and quarrels that go on among you come from? Do they not come from your passions which are always making war among your bodily members?

mnt@James:4:2 @ You continually crave and do not obtain; you are killing and coveting and cannot acquire; you are fighting and at war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

mnt@James:4:3 @ You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon your pleasures.

mnt@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy of God.

mnt@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"

mnt@James:4:6 @ But he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually.

mnt@James:4:7 @ So then ever be subject to God, Ever resist the devil and he will flee from you.

mnt@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God And he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, And purify your hearts, you double-minded.

mnt@James:4:9 @ Lament and mourn, and weep aloud! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, And your joy into gloom!

mnt@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord, And he will raise you up.

mnt@James:4:11 @ Do not be talking against each other, brothers. He who is talking against a brother and condemning his brothers is talking against the Law and condemning the Law. But if you are condemning the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.

mnt@James:4:12 @ But One is your Lawgiver and Judge - he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you, to be condemning your neighbor?

mnt@James:4:13 @ Go to now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we shall journey to such a city and spend a year there, and trade and make money,"

mnt@James:4:14 @ when all the time you do not know what will happen on the morrow. For what is your life? You are but a mist, appearing for a brief time, and then vanishing.

mnt@James:4:15 @ You ought instead to say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."

mnt@James:4:16 @ But now you are glorying in these insolent boastings of yours; all such glorying is evil.

mnt@James:4:17 @ So to him who knows how to do right and does not do it, to him it is sin.
