Jas James, chapter Epistle of James, chapter 4
Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members? Rom 7:23; Gal 5:17Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures. Pro 1:28; Isa 1:15; 1Jn 3:22Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. Jhn 15:19; Rom 8:7Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? Gen 6:5; Gen 8:21; Gal 5:17But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. Pro 3:34; Luk 14:11; 1Pe 5:5Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. 2Ch 15:2; Isa 1:15Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Mat 5:4Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.1Pe 5:6
Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Mat 7:1One only is the lawgiver and judge, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?Rom 14:4
Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain: Luk 12:18whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Job 7:7; Pro 27:1For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that. Act 18:21; 1Co 4:19; 1Co 16:7But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.Luk 12:47
