James 4
New International Version (1984) Help
4What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?G4159G4171G2532G3163G1722G5213G3756G1782G1537G5216G2237G4754G1722G5216G3196
2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God.G1937G2532G2192G3756G5407G2532G2206G2532G3756G1410G2013G3164G2532G4170G1161G2192G3756G1223G5209G154G3361
3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.G154G2532G2983G3756G1360G154G2560G2443G1159G1722G5216G2237
4You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.G3432G2532G3428G1492G3756G3754G5373G2889G2076G2189G2316G3739G302G3767G1511G1014G5384G2889G2525G2190G2316
5Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?G2228G1380G3754G1124G3004G2761G4151G3739G2730G1722G2254G1971G4314G5355
6But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."G1161G1325G3187G5485G1352G3004G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G5011
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.G5293G3767G2316G436G1228G2532G5343G575G5216
8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.G1448G2316G2532G1448G5213G2511G5495G268G2532G48G2588G1374
9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.G5003G2532G3996G2532G2799G5216G1071G3344G1519G3997G2532G5479G1519G2726
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.G5013G1799G2962G2532G5312G5209G5312
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.G2635G3361G2635G240G80G2635G80G2532G2919G846G80G2635G3551G2532G2919G3551G1161G1487G2919G3551G1488G3756G4163G3551G235G2923
12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?G2076G1520G3550G3588G1410G4982G2532G622G5101G1488G4771G3739G2919G2087
13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."G33G3568G3004G4594G2532G839G4198G1519G3592G4172G2532G4160G4160G1563G1520G1763G2532G1710G1710G2532G2770G2770
14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.G3748G1987G3756G3588G839G1063G4169G5216G2222G2076G1063G822G4314G5316G3641G1161G1899G853
15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."G473G5209G3004G1437G2962G2309G2532G2198G2198G2532G4160G4160G5124G2228G1565
16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.G1161G3568G2744G1722G5216G212G3956G5108G2746G2076G4190
17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.G3767G1492G4160G2570G2532G4160G3361G846G2076G266
