James 4:1-8

ABU(i) 1 FROM whence are wars, and from whence are fightings among you? Are they not from hence, from your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye desire, and have not; ye kill, and envy, and can not obtain; ye fight and war. Ye have not, because ye ask not; 3 ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore desires to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the Scripture says in vain, the spirit he made to dwell in us has jealous longings? 6 But he gives the more grace. Wherefore he says: God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
