Jas James, chapter Epistle of James, chapter 4
From from what place [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?Rom 7:23; Gal 5:17
You2f lust, and have not: you2f kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you2f fight and war, yet you2f have not, because you2f ask not.
You2f ask, and receive not, because you2f ask amiss, that you2f may consume [it] upon your lusts.Pro 1:28; Isa 1:15; 1Jn 3:22
You2f adulterers and adulteresses, know you2f not that the friendship of the world is hatred (being an enemy) with God-The Father? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God-The Father.Jhn 15:19; Rom 8:7
Do you2f think that the scripture says in vain, The Spirit [Ruach] that dwells in us lusts to envy?Gen 6:5; Gen 8:21; Gal 5:17
But he gives more grace. For what reason he says, God-The Father resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.Pro 3:34; Luk 14:11; 1Pe 5:5
Submit yourselves therefore to God-The Father. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God-The Father, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [you2f] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [you2f] double minded.2Ch 15:2; Isa 1:15
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.Mat 5:4
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord - Kurios, and he shall lift you up.1Pe 5:6
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of [his] brother, and his brother, speaks evil of the law, and the law: but if youi judge the law, youi are not a doer of the law, but a judge.Mat 7:1
There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who are youi that judge another?Rom 14:4
Go to now, you2f that say, To day or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:Luk 12:18
Whereas you2f know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appears for a little time, and then vanisheth away.Job 7:7; Pro 27:1
For that you2f [ought] to say, If the Lord - Kurios will, we shall live, and do this, or that.Act 18:21; 1Co 4:19; 1Co 16:7
But now you2f rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does [it] not, to him it is sin.Luk 12:47
