James 4:1-10

James 4:1-10

1
From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members?
2
Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not.
3
Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures.
4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God.
5
Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie?
6
But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
7
Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you.
8
Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded.
9
Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse.
10
Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp.
