James:4:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Whence wars and fightings among you ?
Do they not come hence ,
even from your lusts ,
which war in your members ?
*
You strongly desire ,
and have not ;
you kill ,
and are zealous ,
and can not obtain .
You fight and war ,
but have not ,
because you ask not .
*
You ask ,
and do not receive ,
because you ask wickedly ,
that you may spend upon your lusts .
*
Adulterers ,
and adulteresses ,
do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity against God ?
Whosoever ,
therefore ,
will be a friend of the world ,
is counted an enemy of God .
*
Do you think that the scripture speaks in vain ?
And does the spirit ,
who dwells in us ,
strongly incline to envy ?
* «
But he gives greater favor .
For it says ,» '
God resists the proud ,
but gives favor to the humble .'
*
Therefore ,
be subject 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 ,
you sinners ;
and purify your hearts ,
you men of two minds .
*
Be exceedingly afflicted ,
and mourn ,
and weep ;
and let your laughter be turned into mourning ,
and your joy into sadness .
*
Be humble in the presence of the Lord ,
and he will lift you up .
*
He who speaks against his brother ,
and condemns his brother ,
speaks against the law ,
and condemns the law .
But if you condemn the law ,
you are not a doer of the law ,
but a judge .
*
There is one lawgiver ,
who is able to save ,
and to destroy .
Who are you ,
that condemn another ?
