James 4
Tyndale New Testament
1From whence cometh war, and fighting among you? come they not here hence? even of your voluptuousness that raineth in your members. 2Ye lust, and have not. Ye envy and have indignation, and cannot come by it. Ye fight and war, and have not, because ye ask not. 3Ye ask and have not, because ye ask amiss, for to consume it upon your voluptuousness. 4Ye advouterers, and women that break matrimony: know ye not how that the friendship of the world is enmity to godward? Whosoever will be friend of the world, is made the enemy of God. 5Do ye suppose that the scripture saith in vain: The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy: 6but giveth more grace. 7Submit yourselves to God, and resist the devil, and he will flye from you. 8Draw nye to God, and he will draw nye to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purge your hearts ye wavering minded. 9Suffer afflictions: sorrow ye and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10Cast down yourselves before the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

11Backbite not one another, brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that judgeth his brother, backbiteth the law, and judgeth the law: but and if thou judge the law, thou art not an observer of the law: but a judge. 12There is one law giver, which is able to save and to destroy. What art thou that judgest another man?

13Go to now ye that say: today and tomorrow let us go into such a city and continue there a year and buy, and sell, and win: 14and yet cannot tell what shall happen tomorrow. For what thing is your life? it is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away: 15For that ye ought to say: if the Lord will and if we live, let us do this or that. 16But now ye rejoice in your boastings. All such rejoicing is evil. 17Therefore to him that knoweth how to do good, and doth it not, it is sin.
