kjc - James:4:1-12

kjc@James:4:1 @ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

kjc@James:4:2 @ You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not.

kjc@James:4:3 @ You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts.

kjc@James:4:4 @ You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

kjc@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?

kjc@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace. Therefore he says,

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

kjc@James:4:8 @ Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded.

kjc@James:4:9 @ Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

kjc@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

kjc@James:4:11 @ Speak not evil one of another, brothers. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

kjc@James:4:12 @ There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who are you that judges another?
