James:4:1-12
nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?
nasb@James:4:2 @You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
nasb@James:4:3 @You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
nasb@James:4:5 @Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose- " He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?
nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
nasb@James:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
nasb@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.
nasb@James:4:9 @Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
nasb@James:4:10 @Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.
nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?
