nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

nasb@James:4:2 @You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

nasb@James:4:3 @You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nasb@James:4:5 @Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose- " He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?

nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

nasb@James:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nasb@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.

nasb@James:4:9 @Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

nasb@James:4:10 @Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

nasb@James:4:13 @Come now, you who say, " Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

nasb@James:4:14 @Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

nasb@James:4:15 @Instead, you ought to say, " If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

nasb@James:4:16 @But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.

nasb@James:4:17 @Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
