James - Chapter: 4
| 4:1 | From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? |
| 4:2 | Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. |
| 4:3 | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. |
| 4:4 | Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. |
| 4:5 | Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? |
| 4:6 | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. |
| 4:7 | Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
| 4:8 | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. |
| 4:9 | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. |
| 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. |
| 4:11 | Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. |
| 4:12 | There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? |
| 4:13 | Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: |
| 4:14 | Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. |
| 4:15 | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. |
| 4:16 | But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. |
| 4:17 | Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. |
| 4:1 | From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members? |
| 4:2 | Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not. |
| 4:3 | Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures. |
| 4:4 | Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God. |
| 4:5 | Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie? |
| 4:6 | But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble. |
| 4:7 | Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you. |
| 4:8 | Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded. |
| 4:9 | Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse. |
| 4:10 | Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp. |
| 4:11 | Speake not euill one of another, brethren. He that speaketh euill of his brother, or he that condemneth his brother, speaketh euill of ye Law, and condemneth the Lawe: and if thou condemnest the Lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the Lawe, but a iudge. |
| 4:12 | There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man? |
| 4:13 | Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morowe we will goe into such a citie, and continue there a yeere, and bye and sell, and get gaine, |
| 4:14 | (And yet ye cannot tell what shalbe to morowe. For what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and afterward vanisheth away) |
| 4:15 | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that. |
| 4:16 | But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill. |
| 4:17 | Therefore, to him that knoweth how to doe well, and doeth it not, to him it is sinne. |
| 4:1 | From whence commeth warre and fighttynge amonge you: come they not here hence? even of youre volupteousnes that rayne in youre members. |
| 4:2 | Ye lust and have not. Ye envie and have indignacion and cannot obtayne. Ye fight and warre and have not because ye axe not. |
| 4:3 | Ye axe and receave not because ye axe a mysse: even to consume it apon youre volupteousnes. |
| 4:4 | Ye advouterars and wemen that breke matrimonie: knowe ye not how yt the freshippe of ye worlde is ennimite to god warde? Whosoever wilbe a frende of the worlde is made the enemie of god. |
| 4:5 | Ether do ye thinke that the scripture sayth in vayne The sprite that dwelleth in you lusteth eve contrary to envie: |
| 4:6 | but geveth more grace. |
| 4:7 | Submit youre selves to god and resist the devyll and he will flye from you. |
| 4:8 | Drawe nye to god and he will drawe nye to you. Clense youre hondes ye synners and pourdge youre hertes ye waverynge mynded. |
| 4:9 | Suffre affliccios: sorowe ye and wepe. Let youre laughter be turned to mornynge and youre ioye to hevynes. |
| 4:10 | Cast doune youre selves before the lorde and he shall lift you vp. |
| 4:11 | Backbyte not one another brethren. He that backbyteh hys brother and he that iudgeth his brother backbyteth the lawe and iudgeth the lawe. But and yf thou iudge the lawe thou art not an observer of ye lawe: but a iudge. |
| 4:12 | Ther is one lawe gever which is able to save and to distroye. What art thou that iudgest another man? |
| 4:13 | Go to now ye that saye: to daye and to morow let vs go into soche a citie and continue there a yeare and bye and sell and wynne: |
| 4:14 | and yet can not tell what shall happen to morowe. For what thynge is youre lyfe? It is even a vapoure that apereth for a lytell tyme and the vanyssheth awaye: |
| 4:15 | For that ye ought to saye: yf the lorde will and yf we live let vs do this or that. |
| 4:16 | But nowe ye reioyce in youre bostinges. All soche reioysynge is evyll. |
| 4:17 | Therfore to him that knoweth how to do good and doth it not to him it is synne. |
