From whence come wars
and
fightings
among
you
? come they not
hence
, even of
your
lusts
that war
in
your
members
?
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
.
Ye ask, and
receive
not
, because
ye ask
amiss
, that
ye may consume
it upon
your
lusts
.
Ye 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
.
Do ye think
that
the scripture
saith
in vain
, The spirit
that
dwelleth
in
us
lusteth
to
envy
?
But he giveth
more
grace
. Wherefore
he saith
, God
resisteth
the proud
, but
giveth
grace
unto the humble
.
Submit yourselves therefore
to God
. 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 double minded
.
Be afflicted, and
mourn
, and
weep
: let your
laughter
be turned
to
mourning
, and
your joy
to
heaviness
.
Humble yourselves in the sight
of the Lord
, and
he shall lift
you
up
.
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 judge
the law
, thou art
not
a doer
of the law
, but
a judge
.
There is one
lawgiver
, who
is able
to save
and
to destroy
: who
art
thou
that
judgest
another
?
Go 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
:
Whereas 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
.
For that ye
ought to say
, If
the Lord
will
,
we shall live
, and
do
this
, or
that
.
But now
ye rejoice
in
your
boastings
: all
such
rejoicing
is
evil
.
Therefore to him that knoweth
to do
good
, and
doeth
it not
, to him
it is
sin
.
