4 Where do wars and [where do][fn] fights among you come from? Is it not from your pleasures that wage war in your members? 2 You desire and do not have, you murder and are envious and cannot obtain, you fight and wage war, [[but]][fn] you do not have because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your pleasures.
4 [[Adulterers and]][fn] Adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The spirit {that dwells}[fn] in us yearns with envy”? 6 But it gives greater grace; therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”[fn]
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God, [but][fn] resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Be miserable and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother {or}[fn] judges his brother speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver [and judge][fn] who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you to judge {your neighbor}?[fn]
13 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow {we will go}[fn] to such and such a city, spend a year there, engage in business, and make a profit, 14 [[for]][fn] you who do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? {It is}[fn] a vapor that appears for a little while [[but]][fn] also disappearing. 15 Instead you should say, If the Lord wills, {we will}[fn] live and do this or that.
16 But now you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
