| The Book of James 4 | ||||||||||||||||
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) | ||||||||||||||||
| James 4:1 | Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that 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. | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:3 | You ask, and don't receive, because you ask amiss, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:5 | Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:6 | But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:7 | Be subject therefore to God. But 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. | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:9 | Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:10 | Humble yourselves 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. | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:12 | Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another? | |||||||||||||||
| 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." | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:15 | For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." | |||||||||||||||
| James 4:16 | But now you glory in your boasting. 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. | |||||||||||||||
