James 4:1-10

Whiston(i) 1 From whence [are] wars and whence fightings among you? [are they] not hence, of your lusts, that war in your members? 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. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye 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. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace: wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit your selves therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you: 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you: cleanse the hands, ye sinners, and purify the hearts, ye double-minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, [and] weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and joy to heaviness. 10 Humble your selves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
