James 4:1–10

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts ^athat war in your members? ²Ye lust, and have not: ye ^bkill, and ^cdesire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. ^3dYe ask, and receive not, ^ebecause ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. ^4fYe adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that ^gthe friendship of the world is ^henmity with God? ⁱwhosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. ⁵Do ye think that ^kthe scripture saith in vain, ^lthe spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? ⁶But ^mhe giveth more grace. Wherefore ⁿhe saith, ^oGod resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. ^7opSubmit yourselves therefore to God. ^qResist the devil, and he will flee from you. ^8rDraw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. ^sCleanse your hands, ye sinners; and ^tpurify your hearts, ye ^udouble minded. ⁹Be afflicted, and ^vmourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. ^10pwHumble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
