Proud or Humble

4What is the source of the wars and the fights among you? Don't they come from the cravings that are at war within you?G4159G4171G2532G3163G1722G5213G3756G1782G1537G5216G2237G4754G1722G5216G3196 2You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.G1937G2532G2192G3756G5407G2532G2206G2532G3756G1410G2013G3164G2532G4170G1161G2192G3756G1223G5209G154G3361 3You ask and don't receive because you ask wrongly, so that you may spend it on your desires for pleasure.G154G2532G2983G3756G1360G154G2560G2443G1159G1722G5216G2237 4Adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy.G3432G2532G3428G1492G3756G3754G5373G2889G2076G2189G2316G3739G302G3767G1511G1014G5384G2889G2525G2190G2316 5Or do you think it's without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit He has caused to live in us yearns jealously?G2228G1380G3754G1124G3004G2761G4151G3739G2730G1722G2254G1971G4314G5355 6But He gives greater grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.G1161G1325G3187G5485G1352G3004G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G5011 7Therefore, submit to God. But resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.G5293G3767G2316G436G1228G2532G5343G575G5216 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!G1448G2316G2532G1448G5213G2511G5495G268G2532G48G2588G1374 9Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.G5003G2532G3996G2532G2799G5216G1071G3344G1519G3997G2532G5479G1519G2726 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.G5013G1799G2962G2532G5312G5209G5312 11Don't criticize one another, brothers. He who criticizes a brother or judges his brother criticizes the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.G2635G3361G2635G240G80G2635G80G2532G2919G846G80G2635G3551G2532G2919G3551G1161G1487G2919G3551G1488G3756G4163G3551G235G2923 12There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?G2076G1520G3550G3588G1410G4982G2532G622G5101G1488G4771G3739G2919G2087

Our Will and His Will

13Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit."G33G3568G3004G4594G2532G839G4198G1519G3592G4172G2532G4160G4160G1563G1520G1763G2532G1710G1710G2532G2770G2770 14You don't even know what tomorrow will bring— what your life will be! For you are a bit of smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.G3748G1987G3756G3588G839G1063G4169G5216G2222G2076G1063G822G4314G5316G3641G1161G1899G853 15Instead, you should say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."G473G5209G3004G1437G2962G2309G2532G2198G2198G2532G4160G4160G5124G2228G1565 16But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.G1161G3568G2744G1722G5216G212G3956G5108G2746G2076G4190 17So, for the person who knows to do good and doesn't do it, it is a sin.G3767G1492G4160G2570G2532G4160G3361G846G2076G266
