1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?studyinterlinear
2Ye 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.studyinterlinear
3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.studyinterlinear
4Ye 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.studyinterlinear
5Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?studyinterlinear
6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.studyinterlinear
7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.studyinterlinear
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.studyinterlinear
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.studyinterlinear
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.studyinterlinear
11Speak 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.studyinterlinear
12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?studyinterlinear
13Go 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:studyinterlinear
14Whereas 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.studyinterlinear
15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.studyinterlinear
16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.studyinterlinear
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.studyinterlinear
