JAMES
Chapter 4
Jame | Webster | 4:1 | From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] from your lusts that war in your members? | |
Jame | Webster | 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. | |
Jame | Webster | 4:3 | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. | |
Jame | Webster | 4:4 | Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. | |
Jame | Webster | 4:5 | Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? | |
Jame | Webster | 4:6 | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. | |
Jame | Webster | 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. | |
Jame | Webster | 4:9 | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness. | |
Jame | Webster | 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 judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. | |
Jame | Webster | 4:12 | There is one lawgiver, who is able to save, and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? | |
Jame | Webster | 4:13 | Come 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: | |
Jame | Webster | 4:14 | Whereas ye know not what [will be] on the morrow: For what [is] your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. | |
Jame | Webster | 4:15 | Instead of that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. | |
