From whence[G4159] come wars[G4171]and[G2532]fightings[G3163]among[G1722]you?[G5213] come they not[G3756]hence[G1782], even of[G1537]your[G5216]lusts[G2237] that war[G4754]in[G1722]your[G5216]members?[G3196]
3
Ye ask[G154], and[G2532]receive[G2983]not[G3756], because[G1360] ye ask[G154]amiss[G2560], that[G2443] ye may consume[G1159] it upon[G1722]your[G5216]lusts[G2237].
4Ye[G1492]adulterers[G3432]and[G2532]adulteresses[G3428], know ye[G1492]not[G3756]that[G3754] the friendship[G5373] of the world[G2889]is[G2076]enmity[G2189] with God?[G2316]whosoever[G3739]therefore[G3767] will be[G1511] a friend[G5384] of the world[G2889]is[G2525] the enemy[G2190] of God[G2316].
5
Do ye think[G1380]that[G3754] the scripture[G1124]saith[G3004]in[G1722]vain[G2761], The spirit[G4151]that[G3739]dwelleth[G2730]in[G1722]us[G2254]lusteth[G1971]to[G4314]envy?[G5355]
6But[G1161] he giveth[G1325]more[G3187]grace[G5485]. Wherefore[G1352] he saith[G3004], God[G2316]resisteth[G498] the proud[G5244], but[G1161]giveth[G1325]grace[G5485] unto the humble[G5011].
7
Submit yourselves[G5293]therefore[G3767] to God[G2316]. Resist[G436] the devil[G1228], and[G2532] he will flee[G5343]from[G575]you[G5216].
8
Draw nigh[G1448] to God[G2316], and[G2532] he will draw nigh[G1448] to you[G5213]. Cleanse[G2511] your hands[G5495], ye sinners[G268]; and[G2532]purify[G48] your hearts[G2588], ye double minded[G1374].
9
Be afflicted[G5003], and[G2532]mourn[G3996], and[G2532]weep[G2799]: let your[G5216]laughter[G1071] be turned[G3344]to[G1519]mourning[G3997], and[G2532]your[G5216]joy[G5479]to[G1519]heaviness[G2726].
10
Humble yourselves[G5013] in the sight[G1799] of the Lord[G2962], and[G2532] he shall lift[G5312]you[G5209]up[G5312].
11Speak[G2635]not[G3361]evil[G2635] one of another[G240], brethren[G80]. He that speaketh evil[G2635] of his[G846]brother[G80], and[G2532]judgeth[G2919]his[G846]brother[G80], speaketh evil[G2635] of the law[G3551], and[G2532]judgeth[G2919] the law[G3551]: but[G1161]if[G1487] thou judge[G2919] the law[G3551], thou art[G1488]not[G3756] a doer[G4163] of the law[G3551], but[G235] a judge[G2923].
12
There is[G2076]one[G1520]lawgiver[G3550], who[G3588]is[G2076]able[G1410] to save[G4982]and[G2532] to destroy[G622]: who[G5101]art[G1488]thou[G4771]that[G3739]judgest[G2919]another?[G2087]
13Go[G4198]to[G33]now[G3568], ye that say[G3004], To[G33]day[G4594]or[G2532]to[G33]morrow[G839] we will go[G4198]into[G1519]such[G3592]a[G1520]city[G4172], and[G2532]continue[G4160]there[G1563]a[G1520]year[G1763], and[G2532] buy and[G2532]sell[G1710], and[G2532] get gain[G2770]:
14Whereas[G3748] ye know[G1987]not[G3756]what[G3588] shall be on the morrow[G839]. For[G1063]what[G4169]is[G2076]your[G5216]life?[G2222] It is[G2076]even[G1063] a vapour[G822], that[G4314] appeareth for[G5316] a little time[G3641], and[G1161]then[G1899] vanisheth away[G853].
15
For that[G473]ye[G5209] ought to say[G3004], If[G1437] the Lord[G2962]will[G2309], we shall live[G2198], and[G2532]do[G4160]this[G5124], or[G2228]that[G1565].
16But[G1161]now[G3568] ye rejoice[G2744]in[G1722]your[G5216]boastings[G212]: all[G3956]such[G5108]rejoicing[G2746]is[G2076]evil[G4190].
17Therefore[G3767] to him[G846] that knoweth[G1492] to do[G4160]good[G2570], and[G2532]doeth[G4160] it not[G3361], to him[G846] it is[G2076]sin[G266].
