| 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 [are] wars and fightings among you? not thence out of your passions, that are as soldiers 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? |
| 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 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; | 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; |
| 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 ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend [it]. | 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. |
| 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. | 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. | 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. |
| James 4:5 | Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? | Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,` | 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"? |
| James 4:6 | But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." | 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?` | 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." |
| James 4:7 | Be subject therefore to God. But 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; | Submit therefore to God: resist 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. | draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled! | 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. |
| James 4:9 | Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. | be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness; | Afflict yourselves and mourn and weep aloud; let your laughter be turned into grief, and your gladness into shame. |
| James 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. | be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you. | Humble yourselves in the presence 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 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; | 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. |
| 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, who is able to save and to destroy; thou who art thou that dost judge the other? | 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? |
| 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, 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;` | 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," |
| 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. | 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; | 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. |
| 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 may will, we shall live, and 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." |
| James 4:16 | But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil. | and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil; | But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that you boast: all such boasting is evil. |
| James 4:17 | To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin. | to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him. | If, however, a man knows what it is right to do and yet does not do it, he commits a sin. |
