Stop Fighting with Each Other

4Where do those fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your selfish desires that are at war in your bodies, don't they -G4159G4171G2532G3163G1722G5213G3756G1782G1537G5216G2237G4754G1722G5216G3196 2You want something but do not get it, so you commit murder. You covet something but cannot obtain it, so you quarrel and fight. You do not get things because you do not ask for them!G1937G2532G2192G3756G5407G2532G2206G2532G3756G1410G2013G3164G2532G4170G1161G2192G3756G1223G5209G154G3361 3You ask for something but do not get it because you ask for it for the wrong reason - for your own pleasure.G154G2532G2983G3756G1360G154G2560G2443G1159G1722G5216G2237 4You adulterers! Don't you know that friendship with the world means hostility with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God.G3432G2532G3428G1492G3756G3754G5373G2889G2076G2189G2316G3739G302G3767G1511G1014G5384G2889G2525G2190G2316 5Or do you think the Scripture means nothing when it says that the Spirit that God caused to live in us jealously yearns for us -G2228G1380G3754G1124G3004G2761G4151G3739G2730G1722G2254G1971G4314G5355 6But he gives all the more grace. And so he says, "God opposes the arrogant but gives grace to the humble."G1161G1325G3187G5485G1352G3004G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G5011 7Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you.G5293G3767G2316G436G1228G2532G5343G575G5216 8Come close to God, and he will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.G1448G2316G2532G1448G5213G2511G5495G268G2532G48G2588G1374 9Be miserable, mourn, and cry. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom.G5003G2532G3996G2532G2799G5216G1071G3344G1519G3997G2532G5479G1519G2726 10Humble yourselves in the Lord's presence, and he will exalt you.48G5013G1799G2962G2532G5312G5209G5312

Do Not Criticize Each Other

11Do not criticize each other, brothers. Whoever makes it his habit to criticize his brother or to judge his brother is judging the law and condemning the law. But if you condemn the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge.G2635G3361G2635G240G80G2635G80G2532G2919G846G80G2635G3551G2532G2919G3551G1161G1487G2919G3551G1488G3756G4163G3551G235G2923 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge - the one who can save and destroy. So who are you to judge your neighbor -G2076G1520G3550G3588G1410G4982G2532G622G5101G1488G4771G3739G2919G2087

Do Not Boast about Future Plans

13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town, stay there a year, conduct business, and make money."G33G3568G3004G4594G2532G839G4198G1519G3592G4172G2532G4160G4160G1563G1520G1763G2532G1710G1710G2532G2770G2770 14You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.G3748G1987G3756G3588G839G1063G4169G5216G2222G2076G1063G822G4314G5316G3641G1161G1899G853 15Instead you should say, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live - and do this or that."G473G5209G3004G1437G2962G2309G2532G2198G2198G2532G4160G4160G5124G2228G1565 16But you boast about your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.G1161G3568G2744G1722G5216G212G3956G5108G2746G2076G4190 17Therefore, anyone who knows what is right but fails to do it is guilty of sin.G3767G1492G4160G2570G2532G4160G3361G846G2076G266
