| James 4:1 | 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? | Whence [come] wars and whence [come] fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your pleasures that war in your members? |
| James 4:2 | 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; | Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. |
| James 4:3 | 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. | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend [it] in your pleasures. |
| James 4:4 | 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. | Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. |
| James 4:5 | 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"? | Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? |
| James 4:6 | 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." | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. |
| James 4:7 | 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. | Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
| James 4:8 | 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. | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. |
| James 4:9 | 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. | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. |
| James 4:10 | be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you. | Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you. |
| James 4:11 | 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. | 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. |
| James 4:12 | 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? | 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? |
| James 4:13 | 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," | 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: |
| James 4:14 | 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. | 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. |
| James 4:15 | 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." | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that. |
| James 4:16 | 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. | But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. |
| James 4:17 | 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. | To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. |
