• 4:1 Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you?
    4:2 You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask.

    4:4 Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
    4:5 Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, "God yearns jealously for the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?
    4:6 But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
    4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

    4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
    4:11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters. Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
    4:12 There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor?
    4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there, doing business and making money."
    4:14 Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
    4:15 Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that."
    4:16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.
    4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.
