dby James:4:1-12
dby@James:4:1 @ Whence [come] wars and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, -- from your pleasures, which war in your members?
dby@James:4:2 @ Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not.
dby@James:4:3 @ Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures.
dby@James:4:4 @ Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be [the] friend of the world is constituted enemy of God.
dby@James:4:5 @ Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
dby@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly.
dby@James:4:7 @ Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
dby@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and purify [your] hearts, ye double-minded.
dby@James:4:9 @ Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
dby@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before [the] Lord, and he shall exalt you.
dby@James:4:11 @ Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but judge.
dby@James:4:12 @ One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou who judgest thy neighbour?
