James:4:1-12

* From whence come wars and fightings among you ? come they not hence , even of your lusts that war in your members ? * Ye lust , and have not : ye kill , and desire to have , and cannot obtain : ye fight and war , yet ye have not , because ye ask not . * Ye ask , and receive not , because ye ask amiss , that ye may consume it upon your lusts . * Ye adulterers and adulteresses , know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God ? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God . * Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain , The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy ? * But he giveth more grace . Wherefore he saith , God resisteth the proud , but giveth grace unto the humble . * Submit yourselves therefore to God . Resist the devil , and he will flee from you . * Draw nigh to God , and he will draw nigh to you . Cleanse your hands , ye sinners ; and purify your hearts , ye double minded . * Be afflicted , and mourn , and weep : let your laughter be turned to mourning , and your joy to heaviness . * Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord , and he shall lift you up . * Speak not evil one of another , brethren . He that speaketh evil of his brother , and judgeth his brother , speaketh evil of the law , and judgeth the law : but if thou judge the law , thou art not a doer of the law , but a judge . * There is one lawgiver , who is able to save and to destroy : who art thou that judgest another ?
