drb @James:4:1 @From whence are wars and contentions among you ? Are they not hence , from your concupiscences , which war in your members ? drb @James:4:2 @You covet , and have not : you kill , and envy , and can not obtain . You contend and war , and you have not , because you ask not . drb @James:4:3 @You ask , and receive not ; because you ask amiss : that you may consume it on your concupiscences . drb @James:4:4 @Adulterers , know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God ? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world , becometh an enemy of God . drb @James:4:5 @Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain : To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you ? drb @James:4:6 @But he giveth greater grace . Wherefore he saith : God resisteth the proud , and giveth grace to the humble . drb @James:4:7 @Be subject therefore to God , but resist the devil , and he will fly from you . drb @James:4:8 @Draw nigh to God , and he will draw nigh to you . Cleanse your hands , ye sinners : and purify your hearts , ye double minded . drb @James:4:9 @Be afflicted , and mourn , and weep : let your laughter be turned into mourning , and your joy into sorrow . drb @James:4:10 @Be humbled in the sight of the Lord , and he will exalt you drb @James:4:11 @Detract not one another , my brethren . He that detracteth his brother , or he that judgeth his brother , detracteth the law , and judgeth the law . But if thou judge the law , thou art not a doer of the law , but a judge . drb @James:4:12 @There is one lawgiver , and judge , that is able to destroy and to deliver . drb @James:4:13 @But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour ? Behold , now you that say : To day or to morrow we will go into such a city , and there we will spend a year , and will traffic , and make our gain . drb @James:4:14 @Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow . drb @James:4:15 @For what is your life ? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while , and afterwards shall vanish away . For that you should say : If the Lord will , and if we shall live , we will do this or that . drb @James:4:16 @But now you rejoice in your arrogancies . All such rejoicing is wicked . drb @James:4:17 @To him therefore who knoweth to do good , and doth it not , to him it is sin .
