| James 4:1 | Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members? | What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies? | Whence [are] wars and fightings among you? not thence out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members? |
| James 4:2 | 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 are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it. | 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 don't receive, because you ask amiss, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. | You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure. | ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend [it]. |
| James 4:4 | 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. | O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of 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 says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? | Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for 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 gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." | But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him. | 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 flee from you. | For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you. | be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you; |
| James 4:8 | Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. | Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind. | draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled! |
| James 4:9 | Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. | Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief. | be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness; |
| James 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. | Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him. | be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you. |
| James 4:11 | 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. | Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge. | 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 | Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another? | There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge? | one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; thou who art thou that dost judge the other? |
| James 4:13 | Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain." | How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth: | 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 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. | When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone. | 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 you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." | But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that. | instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;` |
| James 4:16 | But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil. | But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil. | and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil; |
| James 4:17 | To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin. | The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. | to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him. |
