James 4:1-10 (YLT) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

Whence are wars and fightings among you? not thence--out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members?

2

ye desire, and ye have not; ye murder, and are zealous, and are not able to attain; ye fight and war, and ye have not, because of your not asking;

3

ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend it .

4

Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.

5

Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,'

6

and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

7

be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you;

8

draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled!

9

be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;

10

be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.
