James 4:1-6
A Warning against Pride

1 From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?

1:

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

2:

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.

3:

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

4:

5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

5:

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

6:
