| 1 | From whence come warres and fightings among you? come they not hence, euen of your lusts, that warre in your members? |
| 2 | Ye lust, and haue not: yee kill, and desire to haue, and cannot obtaine: yee fight and warre, yet yee haue not, because ye aske not. |
| 3 | Ye aske and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that yee may consume it vpon your lusts. |
| 4 | Ye adulterers, and adulteresses, know yee not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, is the enemy of God. |
| 5 | Doe ye thinke that the Scripture saith in vaine, the spirit that dwelleth in vs lusteth to enuy? |
| 6 | But he giueth more grace, wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proude, but giueth grace vnto the humble. |
| 7 | Submit your selues therefore to God: resist the deuill, and hee will flee from you. |
| 8 | Draw nigh to God, and hee will draw nigh to you: cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purifie your hearts yee double minded. |
| 9 | Bee afflicted, and mourne, and weepe: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your ioy to heauinesse. |
| 10 | Humble your selues in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you vp. |
| 11 | Speake not euill one of another (brethren:) he that speaketh euill of his brother, and iudgeth his brother, speaketh euill of the Law, and iudgeth the Law: but if thou iudge the Law, thou art not a doer of the Law, but a iudge. |
| 12 | There is one Lawgiuer, who is able to saue, and to destroy: who art thou that iudgest another? |
| 13 | Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morrow wee will goe into such a city and continue there a yere, and buy, and sell, and get gaine: |
| 14 | Whereas yee know not what shalbe on the morow: for what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and then vanisheth away. |
| 15 | For that yee ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall liue, and doe this, or that. |
| 16 | But now yee reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill. |
| 17 | Therefore to him that knoweth to doe good, and doth it not, to him it is sinne. |
