James 4 :: King James Version (KJV)

Jas 4:1

Jas 4:1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

Jas 4:2

Jas 4:2Ye 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.

Jas 4:3

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

Jas 4:4

Jas 4:4Ye 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.

Jas 4:5

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

Jas 4:6

Jas 4:6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Jas 4:7

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

Jas 4:8

Jas 4:8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Jas 4:9

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

Jas 4:10

Jas 4:10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Jas 4:11

Jas 4:11Speak 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.

Jas 4:12

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

Jas 4:13

Jas 4:13Go 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:

Jas 4:14

Jas 4:14Whereas 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.

Jas 4:15

Jas 4:15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Jas 4:16

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

Jas 4:17

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