4:1  From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even from your lusts that war in your members?
4:2  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.
4:3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4:4  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.
4:5  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
4:6  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
4:8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
4:9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
4:10  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
4:11  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.
4:12  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save, and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
4:13  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:
4:14  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.
4:15  Instead of that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
4:16  But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
4:17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
