\subsection{James 4}
|
|
\VS{1} Whence [are] fights and [whence are] contentions among you? [is]n't [it] therefore out [of your] pleasures making war among your members?
|
|
\VS{2} You desire, and you have not; you murder and burn with envy, and are not able to be obtaining, you quarrel and you fight. You have not because you are not asking\fnAiteo{}.
|
|
\VS{3} You ask\fnAiteo{} and do not receive because you ask evil-ly in order that you squander in your pleasures.
|
|
\VS{4} Adulterers, don't you know that the philia-[friendship] of the world is enmity of God? Whoever therefore wishes to be [a] philia-[friend] of the world makes himself hateful of God.
|
|
\VS{5} Or do you suppose that to no purpose the scripture says:
|
|
With envy he desires the spirit which he caused to dwell in you.
|
|
\VS{6} But he gives [even] greater grace, because it
|
|
says: God opposes [the] arrogant, but he gives grace to [the] humble.
|
|
\VS{7} Therefore be subject to God, and oppose the devil, and [he] will flee from you.
|
|
\VS{8} Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and
|
|
purify [your] hearts, doubleminded.
|
|
\VS{9} Suffer distress and mourn and weep.
|
|
Turn your laughter into mourning and joy into dejection.
|
|
\VS{10} Be humbled before [the] Lord, and he will exalt you.
|
|
\VS{11} Do not speak evil of one another, brothers.
|
|
The [one] speaking evil of [a] brother or judging his brother speaks evil of [the] law and judges [the] law. But if you judge [the] law, you are not [a]
|
|
doer of [the] law but [a] judge.
|
|
\VS{12} There is one lawgiver and judge, the [one] able
|
|
to save and to destroy; but who are you, the [one] judging his neighbor?
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} Come now, O [those] saying: Today or tomorrow we will proceed into this
|
|
city and will spend [a] year there and will trade and make [a] profit;
|
|
\VS{14} who do not know of tomorrow, of what sort [will be] your zoe-life\fnZoe{}.
|
|
For you are [a] vapor appearing for [a] little [while] and then vanishing.
|
|
\VS{15} Instead you be saying, If
|
|
the Lord wishes, we will zoe-live\fnZoe{} and will do this or that.
|
|
\VS{16} But now you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is wicked\fnPoneros{}.
|
|
\VS{17} Therefore to
|
|
the [one] knowing to be doing [a] good [thing] and not doing it, to him it is sin.
