1. Whence are wars and fightings among you? not thence -- out of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members?
|
1. From whence G4159 come wars G4171 and G2532 fightings G3163 among G1722 you G5213 ? come they not G3756 hence G1782 , even of G1537 your G5216 lusts G2237 that war G4754 in G1722 your G5216 members G3196 ?
|
|
2. ye desire, and ye have not; ye murder, and are zealous, and are not able to attain; ye fight and war, and ye have not, because of your not asking;
|
2. Ye lust G1937 , and G2532 have G2192 not G3756 : ye kill G5407 , and G2532 desire to have G2206 , and G2532 cannot G1410 G3756 obtain G2013 : ye fight G3164 and G2532 war G4170 , yet G1161 ye have G2192 not G3756 , because ye G5209 ask G154 not G3361 .
|
|
3. ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend it.
|
3. Ye ask G154 , and G2532 receive G2983 not G3756 , because G1360 ye ask G154 amiss G2560 , that G2443 ye may consume G1159 it upon G1722 your G5216 lusts G2237 .
|
|
4. Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.
|
4. Ye adulterers G3432 and G2532 adulteresses G3428 , know G1492 ye not G3756 that G3754 the G3588 friendship G5373 of the G3588 world G2889 is G2076 enmity G2189 with God G2316 ? whosoever G3739 G302 therefore G3767 will G1014 be G1511 a friend G5384 of the G3588 world G2889 is G2525 the enemy G2190 of God G2316 .
|
|
5. Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,`
|
5. Do ye G2228 think G1380 that G3754 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith G3004 in vain G2761 , The G3588 spirit G4151 that G3739 dwelleth G2730 in G1722 us G2254 lusteth G1971 to G4314 envy G5355 ?
|
|
6. and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?`
|
6. But G1161 he giveth G1325 more G3187 grace G5485 . Wherefore G1352 he saith G3004 , God G2316 resisteth G498 the proud G5244 , but G1161 giveth G1325 grace G5485 unto the humble G5011 .
|
|
7. be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you;
|
7. Submit G5293 yourselves therefore G3767 to God G2316 . Resist G436 the G3588 devil G1228 , and G2532 he will flee G5343 from G575 you G5216 .
|
|
8. draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled!
|
8. Draw nigh G1448 to God G2316 , and G2532 he will draw nigh G1448 to you G5213 . Cleanse G2511 your hands G5495 , ye sinners G268 ; and G2532 purify G48 your hearts G2588 , ye double minded G1374 .
|
|
9. be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;
|
9. Be afflicted G5003 , and G2532 mourn G3996 , and G2532 weep G2799 : let your G5216 laughter G1071 be turned G3344 to G1519 mourning G3997 , and G2532 your joy G5479 to G1519 heaviness G2726 .
|
|
10. be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.
|
10. Humble yourselves G5013 in the sight G1799 of the G3588 Lord G2962 , and G2532 he shall lift you up G5312 G5209 .
|
|
11. Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge;
|
11. Speak not evil G2635 G3361 one of another G240 , brethren G80 . He that speaketh evil G2635 of his brother G80 , and G2532 judgeth G2919 his G848 brother G80 , speaketh evil G2635 of the law G3551 , and G2532 judgeth G2919 the law G3551 : but G1161 if G1487 thou judge G2919 the law G3551 , thou art G1488 not G3756 a doer G4163 of the law G3551 , but G235 a judge G2923 .
|
|
12. one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; thou -- who art thou that dost judge the other?
|
12. There is G2076 one G1520 lawgiver G3550 , who is able G1410 to save G4982 and G2532 to destroy G622 : who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 that G3739 judgest G2919 another G2087 ?
|
|
13. Go, now, ye who are saying, `To-day and to-morrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain;`
|
13. Go to G33 now G3568 , ye that say G3004 , Today G4594 or G2532 tomorrow G839 we will go G4198 into G1519 such G3592 a city G4172 , and G2532 continue G4160 there G1563 a G1520 year G1763 , and G2532 buy and sell G1710 , and G2532 get gain G2770 :
|
|
14. who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;
|
14. Whereas G3748 ye know G1987 not G3756 what G3588 shall be on the G3588 morrow G839 . For G1063 what G4169 is your G5216 life G2222 ? It is G2076 even G1063 a vapor G822 , that appeareth G5316 for G4314 a little time G3641 , and G1161 then G1899 vanisheth away G853 .
|
|
15. instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;`
|
15. For G473 that ye G5209 ought to say G3004 , If G1437 the G3588 Lord G2962 will G2309 , we shall G2532 live G2198 , and G2532 do G4160 this G5124 , or G2228 that G1565 .
|
|
16. and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
|
16. But G1161 now G3568 ye rejoice G2744 in G1722 your G5216 boastings G212 : all G3956 such G5108 rejoicing G2746 is G2076 evil G4190 .
|
|
17. to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him.
|
17. Therefore G3767 to him that knoweth G1492 to do G4160 good G2570 , and G2532 doeth G4160 it not G3361 , to him G846 it is G2076 sin G266 .
