4Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you?G4159G4171G2532G3163G1722G5213G3756G1782G1537G5216G2237G4754G1722G5216G31962You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask.G1937G2532G2192G3756G5407G2532G2206G2532G3756G1410G2013G3164G2532G4170G1161G2192G3756G1223G5209G154G33613You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures.G154G2532G2983G3756G1360G154G2560G2443G1159G1722G5216G22374Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.G3432G2532G3428G1492G3756G3754G5373G2889G2076G2189G2316G3739G302G3767G1511G1014G5384G2889G2525G2190G23165Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, "God yearns jealously for the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?G2228G1380G3754G1124G3004G2761G4151G3739G2730G1722G2254G1971G4314G53556But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."G1161G1325G3187G5485G1352G3004G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G50117Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.G5293G3767G2316G436G1228G2532G5343G575G52168Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.G1448G2316G2532G1448G5213G2511G5495G268G2532G48G2588G13749Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection.G5003G2532G3996G2532G2799G5216G1071G3344G1519G3997G2532G5479G1519G272610Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.G5013G1799G2962G2532G5312G5209G5312
Warning against Judging Another
11Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters. Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.G2635G3361G2635G240G80G2635G80G2532G2919G846G80G2635G3551G2532G2919G3551G1161G1487G2919G3551G1488G3756G4163G3551G235G292312There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor?G2076G1520G3550G3588G1410G4982G2532G622G5101G1488G4771G3739G2919G2087
Boasting about Tomorrow
13Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there, doing business and making money."G33G3568G3004G4594G2532G839G4198G1519G3592G4172G2532G4160G4160G1563G1520G1763G2532G1710G1710G2532G2770G277014Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.G3748G1987G3756G3588G839G1063G4169G5216G2222G2076G1063G822G4314G5316G3641G1161G1899G85315Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that."G473G5209G3004G1437G2962G2309G2532G2198G2198G2532G4160G4160G5124G2228G156516As it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.G1161G3568G2744G1722G5216G212G3956G5108G2746G2076G419017Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.G3767G1492G4160G2570G2532G4160G3361G846G2076G266
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
