rotherham@James:4:2 @ Ye covetand have not, ye commit murder, and are jealousand cannot obtain, ye fight and war. Ye have notbecause ye do not really ask,

rotherham@James:4:3 @ Ye ask and receive not, because that, basely, ye ask, in order that, in your pleasures, ye may spend.

rotherham@James:4:4 @ Adulteresses! Know ye not that, the friendship of the world, is, enmity to God? Whosoever, therefore, is minded to be, a friend, of the world, an enemy of God, doth constitute himself.

rotherham@James:4:5 @ Or think ye that, in vain, the scripture speaketh? Is it, for envying, that the spirit which hath taken an abode within us doth crave?

rotherham@James:4:6 @ Howbeit he giveth, greater, favour. Wherefore it saith God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, Whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.

rotherham@James:4:7 @ Range yourselves, therefore, under God, but withstand the adversary, and he will flee from you:

rotherham@James:4:8 @ Draw near unto God, and he will draw near unto you. Cleanse hands, sinners! Chasten hearts, double souls!

rotherham@James:4:9 @ Be miserable and lament and weep, let, your laughter, into lamentation, be turned, and, your joy, into dejection;

rotherham@James:4:10 @ Be made low in presence of the Lord, and he will lift you up.

rotherham@James:4:11 @ Be not speaking one against another, brethren! He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against law, and judgeth law; Now, if, upon law, thou art passing judgment, thou art not a doer of law, but a judge!

rotherham@James:4:12 @ One, is Lawgiver and Judge He who hath power to save and to destroy; but who art, thou, that judgest thy neighbour?

rotherham@James:4:14 @ Men who are not versed in the morrowof what sort your life; for ye are, a vapourfor a little, appearing, then, just disappearing!

rotherham@James:4:15 @ Instead of your saying If, the Lord, be pleased, we shall both, live and do this or that;

rotherham@James:4:16 @ Whereas, now, are ye boasting in your pretensions: All boasting like this, is, wicked,

rotherham@James:4:17 @ To him, therefore, who knoweth how to be doing, a right thing, and is not doing it, it is, sin, unto him.
