James 4:1-12

[1] From whence  come wars  and  fightings  among  come they not  hence,  even of  lusts  that war  in  members?  [2] Ye lust,  and  have  not:  ye kill,  and  desire to have,  and  cannot  obtain:  ye fight  and  war,  ye have  not,  because  ask  not.  [3] Ye ask,  and  receive  not,  because  ye ask  amiss,  that  ye may consume  it upon  lusts.  [4] adulteresses,  know ye  not  that  the friendship  of the world  enmity  with God?  whosoever  therefore  a friend  of the world  is  the enemy  of God.  [5] Do ye think  that  the scripture  saith  in vain,  The spirit  that  dwelleth  in  lusteth  to  envy?  [6] But  he giveth  grace.  Wherefore  he saith,  God  resisteth  the proud,  but  giveth  grace  unto the humble.  [7] Submit yourselves  therefore  to God.  Resist  the devil,  and  he will flee  from  [8] Draw nigh  to God,  and  he will draw nigh  Cleanse  your hands,  ye sinners;  and  purify  your hearts,  ye double minded.  [9] Be afflicted,  and  mourn,  and  weep:  laughter  be turned  to  mourning,  and  your joy  to  heaviness.  [10] Humble yourselves  in the sight  of the Lord,  and  up.  [11] 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,  not  a doer  of the law,  but  a judge.  [12] one  lawgiver,  who  is able  to save  and  to destroy:  who  thou  judgest
