| James 4:1 | From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members? | What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures? | Whence [are] wars and fightings among you? not thence out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members? |
| James 4:2 | 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. | You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray; | ye desire, and ye have not; ye murder, and are zealous, and are not able to attain; ye fight and war, and ye have not, because of your not asking; |
| James 4:3 | You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences. | or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another. | ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend [it]. |
| James 4:4 | 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. | You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God. | Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set. |
| James 4:5 | Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you? | Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns jealously over us"? | Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,` |
| James 4:6 | But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. | But He gives more abundant grace, as is implied in His saying, "God sets Himself against the haughty, but to the lowly He gives grace." | and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?` |
| James 4:7 | Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you. | Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. | be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee 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 double minded. | Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God. | draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled! |
| James 4:9 | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow. | Afflict yourselves and mourn and weep aloud; let your laughter be turned into grief, and your gladness into shame. | be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness; |
| James 4:10 | Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. | Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. | be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you. |
| James 4:11 | 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. | Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it. | Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge; |
| James 4:12 | There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver. | The only real Lawgiver and Judge is He who is able to save or to destroy. Who are you to sit in judgement on your fellow man? | one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; thou who art thou that dost judge the other? |
| James 4:13 | 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. | Come, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to this or that city, and spend a year there and carry on a successful business," | Go, now, ye who are saying, `To-day and to-morrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain;` |
| James 4:14 | Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. | when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more. | who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing; |
| James 4:15 | 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. | Instead of that you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we shall live and do this or that." | instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;` |
| James 4:16 | But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked. | But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that you boast: all such boasting is evil. | and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil; |
| James 4:17 | To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin. | If, however, a man knows what it is right to do and yet does not do it, he commits a sin. | to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him. |
