Chapter 4
| 4:1 | From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? |
| 4:2 | 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. |
| 4:3 | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. |
| 4:4 | 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. |
| 4:5 | Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? |
| 4:6 | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. |
| 4:7 | Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
| 4:8 | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. |
| 4:9 | Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. |
| 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. |
| 4:11 | Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. |
| 4:12 | There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? |
| 4:13 | Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: |
| 4:14 | Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. |
| 4:15 | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. |
| 4:16 | But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. |
| 4:17 | Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. |
