James 4 WBS — James 4

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even from your lusts that war in your members? WBS — James 4:1

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. WBS — James 4:2

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. WBS — James 4:3

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. WBS — James 4:4

5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? WBS — James 4:5

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. WBS — James 4:6

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. WBS — James 4:7

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. WBS — James 4:8

9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. WBS — James 4:9

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up. WBS — James 4:10

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. WBS — James 4:11

12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save, and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? WBS — James 4:12

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: WBS — James 4:13

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. WBS — James 4:14

15 Instead of that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. WBS — James 4:15

16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. WBS — James 4:16

17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. WBS — James 4:17
