nkjv - James:4:1-12

nkjv@James:4:1 @ Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

nkjv@James:4:2 @ You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

nkjv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nkjv@James:4:4 @ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nkjv@James:4:5 @ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?

nkjv@James:4:6 @ But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

nkjv@James:4:7 @ Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nkjv@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nkjv@James:4:9 @ Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

nkjv@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

nkjv@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a 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.

nkjv@James:4:12 @ There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
