1From whence4159 come wars4171 and2532 fightings3163 among1722 you5213? come they not3756 hence1782, even of1537 your5216 lusts2237 that war4754 in1722 your5216 members3196? fightings: or, brawlings lusts: or, pleasures

2Ye lust1937, and2532 have2192 not3756: ye kill5407, and2532 desire to have2206, and2532 cannot3756 1410 obtain2013: ye fight3164 and2532 war4170, yet1161 ye have2192 not3756, because1223 ye5209 ask154 not3361.

3Ye ask154, and2532 receive2983 not3756, because1360 ye ask154 amiss2560, that2443 ye may consume1159 it upon1722 your5216 lusts2237. lusts: or, pleasures

4Ye adulterers3432 and2532 adulteresses3428, know ye1492 not3756 that3754 the friendship5373 of the world2889 is2076 enmity2189 with God2316? whosoever3739 302 therefore3767 will be1511 1014 a friend5384 of the world2889 is2525 the enemy2190 of God2316.

52228 Do ye think1380 that3754 the scripture1124 saith3004 in vain2761, The spirit4151 that3739 dwelleth2730 in1722 us2254 lusteth1971 to4314 envy5355? to envy: or, enviously? to envy: or, enviously

6But1161 he giveth1325 more3187 grace5485. Wherefore1352 he saith3004, God2316 resisteth498 the proud5244, but1161 giveth1325 grace5485 unto the humble5011.

7Submit yourselves5293 therefore3767 to God2316. Resist436 the devil1228, and2532 he will flee5343 from575 you5216.

8Draw nigh1448 to God2316, and2532 he will draw nigh1448 to you5213. Cleanse2511 your hands5495, ye sinners268; and2532 purify48 your hearts2588, ye double minded1374.

9Be afflicted5003, and2532 mourn3996, and2532 weep2799: let your5216 laughter1071 be turned3344 to1519 mourning3997, and2532 your joy5479 to1519 heaviness2726.

10Humble yourselves5013 in the sight1799 of the Lord2962, and2532 he shall lift5312 you5209 up5312.

11Speak2635 not3361 evil2635 one of another240, brethren80. He that speaketh evil2635 of his brother80, and2532 judgeth2919 his846 brother80, speaketh evil2635 of the law3551, and2532 judgeth2919 the law3551: but1161 if1487 thou judge2919 the law3551, thou art1488 not3756 a doer4163 of the law3551, but235 a judge2923.

12There is2076 one1520 lawgiver3550, who3588 is able1410 to save4982 and2532 to destroy622: who5101 art1488 thou4771 that3739 judgest2919 another2087?

13Go to33 now3568, ye that say3004, To day4594 or2532 to morrow839 we will go4198 into1519 such3592 a city4172, and2532 continue4160 4160 there1563 a1520 year1763, and2532 buy and sell1710 1710, and2532 get gain2770 2770:

14Whereas3748 ye know1987 not3756 what3588 shall be on the morrow839. For1063 what4169 is your5216 life2222? It is2076 even1063 a vapour822, that4314 appeareth for5316 a little time3641, and1161 then1899 vanisheth away853. It: or, For it is

15For that473 ye5209 ought to say3004, If1437 the Lord2962 will2309,2532 we shall live2198 2198, and2532 do4160 4160 this5124, or2228 that1565.

16But1161 now3568 ye rejoice2744 in1722 your5216 boastings212: all3956 such5108 rejoicing2746 is2076 evil4190.

17Therefore3767 to him that knoweth1492 to do4160 good2570, and2532 doeth4160 it not3361, to him846 it is2076 sin266.
