James 4:1-10

James 4:1-10

1
From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?
2
You covet, and have not: you kill and envy and cannot obtain. You contend and war, and you have not: because you ask not.
3
You ask and receive not: because you ask amiss, that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
4
Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world becometh an enemy of God.
5
Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
6
But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.
7
Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil: and he will fly 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.
9
Be afflicted and mourn and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into sorrow.
10
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord: and he will exalt you.
