YLT

Berean Standard Bible
Whence
`are'
wars
and fightings
among you? not
thence
--
out
of
your
passions ,
that
are
as
soldiers
in
your
members
?
What
causes
conflicts
and quarrels
among you? Don’t
they
come
from
the
passions at
war
within
you
?
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;
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
ask, and
ye
receive
not, because evilly
ye
ask, that in
your
pleasures
ye
may spend
`
it '
.
And
when
you
do
ask, you
do
not receive
, because you
ask with
wrong
motives
, that you
may squander
it on
your
pleasures
.
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
.
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.
Do ye
think that
emptily
the Writing
saith,
`To
envy
earnestly
desireth
the spirit that
did
dwell in us ,'
Or
do you
think the Scripture
says
without
reason
that
the Spirit He
caused
to
dwell in us yearns
with
envy?
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 ?'
But
He gives
us
more
grace.
This
is
why
it
says:
“
God opposes
the
proud, but
gives
grace to
the
humble.”
be
subject
, then, to God ;
stand
up
against
the devil, and he will flee from you ;
Submit
yourselves
, then, to God .
Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you .
draw nigh
to God, and He will draw nigh
to you ;
cleanse hands, ye
sinners !
and purify hearts, ye
two
- souled!
Draw near
to God, and He will draw near
to you .
Cleanse your
hands, you
sinners ,
and purify your
hearts, you
double
- minded.
be
exceeding
afflicted
, and
mourn, and weep ,
let
your laughter to mourning be
turned
, and the
joy to heaviness;
Grieve
, mourn, and weep .
Turn
your laughter to mourning, and your
joy to gloom.
be
made
low
before the Lord, and He shall
exalt you.
Humble
yourselves
before the Lord, and He will
exalt you.
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 ;
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.
one
is the
lawgiver, who is able to save and to
destroy ;
thou
--
who art
thou
that
dost
judge the
other
?
There
is only
one
Lawgiver and
Judge
, the
One
who is able to save and destroy .
But
who are
you
to
judge your
neighbor
?
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;'
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.”
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;
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.
instead of
your
saying
, `
If the Lord may
will
, we shall
live ,
and do this or that ;'
Instead, you
ought
to
say,
“
If the Lord is
willing
, we will
live and do this or that .”
and
now
ye
glory
in your pride;
all such glorying
is evil ;
As
it
is,
you
boast
in your proud
intentions.
All such boasting
is evil .
to
him
, then, knowing
to do good
, and
not
doing,
sin
it is to
him
.
Anyone
, then, who
knows
the
right
thing
to do, yet
fails
to
do
it ,
is guilty
of
sin
.
