James:4:1-12
acv@James:4:1 @ From where are wars and fightings among you? Is it not from here: from your pleasures warring in your body-parts?
acv@James:4:2 @ Ye desire and do not have, so ye murder. And ye envy and cannot obtain, so ye fight and make war. Ye do not have, because ye do not ask.
acv@James:4:3 @ Ye ask, and do not receive, because ye ask wrongly, so that ye may spend on your pleasures.
acv@James:4:4 @ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is hatred of God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
acv@James:4:5 @ Or think ye that the scripture says vainly, The spirit that he caused to dwell in us yearns with jealousy?
acv@James:4:6 @ But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the arrogant, but gives grace to the lowly.
acv@James:4:7 @ Be subordinate therefore to God, but resist the devil and he will flee from you.
acv@James:4:8 @ Approach God and he will approach you. Cleanse the hands, ye sinners, and purify the hearts, ye double-minded.
acv@James:4:9 @ Be ye sorrowful, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into a downcast look.
acv@James:4:10 @ Be ye made lower in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
acv@James:4:11 @ Speak not against each other, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against law and judges law. But if thou judge law, thou are not a doer of law, but a judge.
acv@James:4:12 @ There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, but thou, who are thou who judge the other man?
