James 4:5-13 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. Do you think that the scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?

6. But he gives more grace. Therefore he says,

7. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

11. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who are you that judge another?

13. Come now, you that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
