James:4:1-12

*
Whence wars and fightings among you ?
Not hence ,
from the pleasures of you of those warring in the members of you ?
*
You strongly desire ,
and not you have ;
you murder and are zealous ,
and not you are able to obtain ;
you fight and you war ,
not you have ,
because the not to ask you ;
*
you ask ,
and not you receive ,
because wickedly you ask ,
so that in the pleasure of you you may waste .
*
Adulterers and adulteresses ,
not know you ,
that the friendship of the world enmity of the God is ?
whoever therefore may wish a friend to be of the world ,
an enemy of the God is rendered .
*
Or think you ,
that vainly the writing speaks ?
To envy strongly inclines the spirit which dwelt in us ?
*
Greater but it gives favor ;
therefore is says :
The God to haughty ones sets himself in opposition ,
to lowly ones but he gives favor .
*
Be you subject therefore to the God ;
be opposed to the accuser ,
and he will flee from you ;
*
draw you near to the God ,
and he will draw near to you ;
cleanse you hands ,
sinners ,
and purify you hearts ,
two
souled ones .
*
Lament you and mourn you and weep you ;
the laughter of you into morning let be turned ,
and the joy into sadness .
*
Be you humbled in presence of the Lord ,
and he will lift up you .
*
Not speak you evil of each other ,
brethren ;
the one speaking evil of a brother ,
and judging the brother of himself ,
speaks evil of law ,
and judges law ,
if but law thou judgest not thou art a doer of law ,
but a judge .
*
One is the lawgiver and judge ,
the one being able to save and to destroy ;
thou but who art thou who judgest the other ?
