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}[fn] it on your pleasures.

4 [[Adulterers and]][fn] Adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with {the}[fn] 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 [[then]][fn] before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

11 Do not speak against one another, [[my]][fn] 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}[fn] year [there],[fn] engage in business, and make a profit, 14 [[for]][fn] you who do not know what will happen tomorrow. [For][fn] What is your life? It [is a vapor that][fn] 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.”

17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
