Young's Literal Translation
What
causes
conflicts
and quarrels
among you? Don’t
they
come
from
the
passions at
war
within
you
?
Whence
`are'
wars
and fightings
among you? not
thence
--
out
of
your
passions ,
that
are
as
soldiers
in
your
members
?
You
crave
what
you
do
not
have; you
kill
and covet
, but
are unable
to obtain
it.
You
quarrel
and
fight .
You
do
not
have, because you
do
not ask.
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;
And
when
you
do
ask, you
do
not
receive, because you
ask with
wrong
motives
, that you
may
squander
it
on
your pleasures.
ye
ask, and
ye
receive not
, because evilly
ye
ask, that in
your pleasures ye
may
spend
`it'
.
You
adulteresses! Do
you
not know
that friendship with
the world is hostility
toward
God? Therefore,
whoever chooses
to be a friend of the world renders
himself
an enemy of God.
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
.
Or
do you
think the
Scripture
says
without
reason
that the Spirit
He
caused
to dwell in us yearns
with
envy?
Do ye
think that emptily
the Writing
saith,
`
To envy
earnestly
desireth
the
spirit
that
did
dwell in us ,'
But
He
gives
us
more
grace .
This
is
why
it
says:
“
God opposes
the
proud, but
gives
grace
to the
humble.”
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?'
Submit
yourselves
, then, to God .
Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you .
be
subject
, then, to God ;
stand
up
against
the devil, and he will flee from you ;
Draw near
to God, and He will draw near
to you .
Cleanse your
hands, you
sinners ,
and purify your
hearts, you
double
- minded.
draw nigh
to God, and He will draw nigh
to you ;
cleanse hands, ye
sinners !
and purify hearts, ye
two
- souled!
Grieve
, mourn, and weep .
Turn
your laughter to mourning, and your
joy to gloom.
be
exceeding
afflicted
, and
mourn, and weep ,
let
your laughter to mourning be
turned
, and the
joy to heaviness;
Humble
yourselves
before the Lord, and He will
exalt you.
be
made
low
before the Lord, and He shall
exalt you.
Brothers,
do
not slander
one another .
Anyone
who speaks
against his brother or
judges
him
speaks
against the
law and judges
it.
And if you
judge
the
law, you
are
not a practitioner
of the
law ,
but a judge of
it.
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 ;
There
is
only
one Lawgiver and
Judge
, the
One
who is able to save and destroy .
But
who are
you
to
judge your
neighbor
?
one is
the
lawgiver, who is able to save and to
destroy ;
thou
--
who art
thou
that
dost
judge the
other
?
Come
now, you
who say
, “Today
or
tomorrow
we will go to this
or
that
city, spend
a
year
there, carry
on
business
, and make a
profit.”
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;'
You
do not even
know what
will
happen
tomorrow!
What is your life? You
are
a mist
that appears
for a little while
and then vanishes.
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;
Instead ,
you
ought
to
say
, “
If the Lord is
willing
, we will
live and do this or that .”
instead of
your
saying
, `
If the Lord may
will
, we shall
live ,
and do this or that ;'
As
it
is,
you
boast
in your proud
intentions.
All such boasting
is evil .
and
now
ye
glory
in your pride;
all such glorying
is evil ;
Anyone
, then, who
knows
the
right
thing
to do, yet
fails
to
do
it
, is
guilty
of
sin.
to
him
, then, knowing
to do good
, and
not
doing
, sin it
is
to
him
.
