ULT YAC Chapter 4

4 From where are wars and from where are battles among you? Are they not from there, from your lusts, the ones fighting in your members? 2 You covet, and you do not have. You kill and envy, and you are not able to obtain. You battle and war. You do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may spend on your lusts. 4 Adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world is made an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the scripture says vainly, “The Spirit whom he caused to live in us longs with jealousy”? 6 But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.” 7 Be submitted, therefore, to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded. 9 Be miserable and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be changed into mourning, and your joy into gloom. 10 Be humbled before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. The one speaking against a brother or judging 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, the one being able to save and to destroy. But who are you, the one judging your neighbor?

13 Come now, the ones saying, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to this city and do a year there and trade and gain.” 14 You who do not know the thing of the tomorrow, of what sort is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears. 15 Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wishes, we will both live and do this or that.” 16 But now you are boasting in your pretensions. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore to the one having known to do good and not doing it, to him it is sin.
