From where [
come ]
wars and from where [
come ]
fightings among you (
note :){+}(:
note )?
Don '
t [
they come ]
from here , [
even ]
of your {+}
pleasures that war in your {+}
members ?
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
lust and don '
t have ;
so you {+}
kill .
And you {+}
covet and cannot obtain ;
so you {+}
fight and war .
You {+}
don '
t have ,
because you {+}
don '
t ask .
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
ask ,
and don '
t receive ,
because you {+}
ask amiss ,
that you {+}
may spend [
it ]
in your {+}
pleasures .
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
adulteresses ,
don '
t you {+}
know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God ?
Whoever therefore would be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God .
*
Or do you (
note :){+}(:
note )
think that in vain the Scripture says ,
The spirit which he made to dwell in us longingly desires to [
the point of ]
envy ?
*
But he gives more grace .
Therefore [
the Scripture ]
says ,
God resists the proud ,
but gives grace to the humble .
*
Be subject therefore to God ;
but resist the devil ,
and he will flee from you (
note :){+}(:
note ).
*
Draw near to God ,
and he will draw near to you (
note :){+}(:
note ).
Cleanse your {+}
hands ,
you {+}
sinners ;
and purify your {+}
hearts ,
you {+}
who lead a double life .
*
Be afflicted ,
and mourn ,
and weep :
let your (
note :){+}(:
note )
laughter be turned to mourning ,
and your {+}
joy to heaviness .
*
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord ,
and he will exalt you (
note :){+}(:
note ).
*
Don '
t speak one against another ,
brothers .
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 .
*
There is [
only ]
one lawgiver and judge ,
the one who is able to save and to destroy :
but who are you that judge your fellow man ?
