| James 4:1 | Whence [come] wars and whence [come] fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your pleasures that war in your members? | Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members? | From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members? |
| James 4:2 | Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. | You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. Yet you don't have, because you don't ask. | You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not. |
| James 4:3 | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend [it] in your pleasures. | You ask, and don't receive, because you ask amiss, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. | You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences. |

Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. | You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. | Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God. |
| James 4:5 | Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? | Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? | Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you? |
| James 4:6 | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. | But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." | But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. |
| James 4:7 | Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. | Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. | Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you. |
| James 4:8 | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. | Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded. |
| James 4:9 | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. | Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow. |
| James 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you. | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. | Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. |
| James 4:11 | Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. | Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and 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. | Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. |
| James 4:12 | One [only] is the lawgiver and judge, [even] he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor? | Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another? | There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver. |
| James 4:13 | Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain: | Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain." | But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain. |
| James 4:14 | whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. | Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. | Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. |
| James 4:15 | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that. | For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." | For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that. |
| James 4:16 | But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. | But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil. | But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked. |
