| James 4:1 | Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members? | Whence [come] wars and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, from your pleasures, which 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 | 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. | Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not. | 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 | You ask, and don't receive, because you ask amiss, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. | Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures. | You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences. |
| 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. | Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be [the] friend of the world is constituted 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 do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? | Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously? | 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 gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." | But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly. | But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. |
| James 4:7 | Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. | Subject yourselves therefore to God. 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 near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. | Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and purify [your] hearts, ye 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 | Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. | Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness. | 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 will exalt you. | Humble yourselves before [the] Lord, and he shall exalt you. | Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will 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. | Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but 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 | Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another? | One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art *thou* who judgest thy neighbour? | There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver. |
| 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." | Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make 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 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. | ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,) | Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. |
| James 4:15 | For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." | instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also 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 you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil. | But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. | But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked. |
| James 4:17 | To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin. | To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin. | To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin. |
