1 Where|strong="G4159" do|strong="G2532" wars|strong="G4171" and|strong="G2532" fights|strong="G3163" among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" come|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537"? Do|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" come|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537" your|strong="G2532" passions|strong="G2237" that|strong="G3588" wage|strong="G4754" war|strong="G4171" among|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" members|strong="G3196"?
2 You|strong="G5210" desire|strong="G1937" but|strong="G2532" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" have|strong="G2192". You|strong="G5210" murder|strong="G5407" and|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3588" jealous|strong="G2206" but|strong="G2532" cannot|strong="G1410" obtain|strong="G2013" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" want. You|strong="G5210" fight|strong="G3164" and|strong="G2532" war|strong="G4170". You|strong="G5210" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" have|strong="G2192" because|strong="G1223" you|strong="G5210" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" ask.
3 You|strong="G5210" ask and|strong="G2532" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" receive|strong="G2983" because|strong="G1360" you|strong="G5210" ask wrongly|strong="G2560", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" may|strong="G2532" spend|strong="G1159" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210" get|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" pleasures|strong="G2237".
4 Adulterers|strong="G3428" and|strong="G2316" adulteresses|strong="G3428"! Do|strong="G1492" you|strong="G3739" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" friendship|strong="G5373" with|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3588" world|strong="G2889" is|strong="G1510" enmity|strong="G2189" with|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316"? Therefore|strong="G3767" whoever|strong="G3739" wishes|strong="G1014" to|strong="G1014" be|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1510" friend|strong="G5384" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3588" world|strong="G2889" makes|strong="G2525" himself an|strong="G1510" enemy|strong="G2190" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
5 Or|strong="G2228" do|strong="G1380" you|strong="G3739" think|strong="G1380" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G1722" Scripture|strong="G1124" speaks|strong="G3004" in|strong="G1722" vain|strong="G2761"? The|strong="G1722" spirit|strong="G4151" that|strong="G3754" dwells|strong="G2730" in|strong="G1722" us|strong="G3004" desires|strong="G1971" to|strong="G4314" the|strong="G1722" point of|strong="G4151" envy|strong="G5355",
6 but|strong="G1161" God|strong="G2316" gives|strong="G1325" greater|strong="G3173" grace|strong="G5485". Therefore|strong="G1352" it|strong="G1161" says|strong="G3004", “God|strong="G2316" opposes|strong="G5244" the|strong="G1161" proud|strong="G5244" but|strong="G1161" gives|strong="G1325" grace|strong="G5485" to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G1161" humble|strong="G5011".”
7 Submit|strong="G5293" yourselves|strong="G4771" therefore|strong="G3767" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316", but|strong="G1161" resist the|strong="G2532" devil|strong="G1228", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2316" flee|strong="G5343" from|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210".
8 Draw|strong="G1448" near|strong="G1448" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2316" draw|strong="G1448" near|strong="G1448" to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210". Cleanse|strong="G2511" your|strong="G2532" hands|strong="G5495", you|strong="G5210" sinners, and|strong="G2532" purify|strong="G2511" your|strong="G2532" hearts|strong="G2588", you|strong="G5210" double-minded|strong="G1374".
9 Grieve|strong="G5003", mourn|strong="G3996", and|strong="G2532" weep|strong="G2799". Turn|strong="G3344" your|strong="G2532" laughter|strong="G1071" into|strong="G1519" mourning|strong="G3997" and|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" joy|strong="G5479" into|strong="G1519" gloom|strong="G2726".
10 Humble|strong="G5013" yourselves|strong="G4771" before|strong="G1799" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" exalt|strong="G5312" you|strong="G5210".
11 Do|strong="G2919" not|strong="G3756" speak|strong="G2635" evil|strong="G2635" against|strong="G2635" one|strong="G3588" another|strong="G3588", brothers. He|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3588" speaks|strong="G2635" evil|strong="G2635" against|strong="G2635" a|strong="G2532" brother and|strong="G2532" judges|strong="G2919" his|strong="G2532" brother, speaks|strong="G2635" evil|strong="G2635" against|strong="G2635" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551" and|strong="G2532" judges|strong="G2919" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551". Now|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" yoʋ judge|strong="G2919" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551", yoʋ are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" a|strong="G2532" doer|strong="G4163" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" law|strong="G3551" but|strong="G1161" a|strong="G2532" judge|strong="G2919".
12 There|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" only|strong="G2532" one|strong="G1520" lawgiver|strong="G3550"—he|strong="G2532" who|strong="G5101" is|strong="G1510" able|strong="G1410" to|strong="G2532" save|strong="G4982" and|strong="G2532" destroy. But|strong="G1161" who|strong="G5101" are|strong="G1510" yoʋ to|strong="G2532" judge|strong="G2919" another|strong="G1520"?
13 Come|strong="G2532" now|strong="G3568", you|strong="G3004" who|strong="G3588" say|strong="G3004", “Today|strong="G4594" and|strong="G2532" tomorrow let|strong="G2532" us|strong="G3004" go|strong="G4198" to|strong="G1519" such|strong="G3592" and|strong="G2532" such|strong="G3592" a|strong="G2532" city|strong="G4172", spend|strong="G4160" a|strong="G2532" year|strong="G1763" there|strong="G1563", trade, and|strong="G2532" make|strong="G4160" a|strong="G2532" profit|strong="G2770".”
14 You|strong="G5210" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1987" what|strong="G4169" will|strong="G1510" happen|strong="G1510" tomorrow. What|strong="G4169" is|strong="G1510" your|strong="G2532" life|strong="G2222"? It|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" vapor that|strong="G3588" appears|strong="G5316" for|strong="G1063" a|strong="G2532" little|strong="G3641" while|strong="G1510" and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" vanishes away.
15 Instead you|strong="G5210" ought to|strong="G2532" say|strong="G3004", “If|strong="G1437" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" wills|strong="G2309", let|strong="G2532" us|strong="G3004" live|strong="G2198" and|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160" this|strong="G3778" or|strong="G2228" that|strong="G3588".”
16 But|strong="G1161" as|strong="G1722" it|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510", you|strong="G5210" boast|strong="G2744" in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G3956" arrogant schemes; all|strong="G3956" such|strong="G5108" boasting|strong="G2746" is|strong="G1510" evil|strong="G4190".
17 So|strong="G3767" whoever knows|strong="G1492" the|strong="G2532" right|strong="G2570" thing|strong="G2570" to|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160" and|strong="G2532" does|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3361" do|strong="G4160" it|strong="G2532", for|strong="G2532" him|strong="G4160" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" sin.
