James 4
1 Whence [come] wars and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, — from your pleasures, which war in your members?
ποθεν πολεμοι και ποθεν μαχαι εν υμιν ουκ εντευθεν εκ των ηδονων υμων των στρατευομενων εν τοις μελεσιν υμων
2 Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not.
επιθυμειτε και ουκ εχετε φονευετε και ζηλουτε και ου δυνασθε επιτυχειν μαχεσθε και πολεμειτε ουκ εχετε δια το μη αιτεισθαι υμας
3 Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures.
αιτειτε και ου λαμβανετε διοτι κακως αιτεισθε ινα εν ταις ηδοναις υμων δαπανησητε
4 Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be [the] friend of the world is constituted enemy of God.
μοιχαλιδες ουκ οιδατε οτι η φιλια του κοσμου εχθρα του θεου εστιν ος εαν ουν βουληθη φιλος ειναι του κοσμου εχθρος του θεου καθισταται
5 Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
η δοκειτε οτι κενως η γραφη λεγει προς φθονον επιποθει το πνευμα ο κατωκισεν εν ημιν
6 But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly.
μειζονα δε διδωσιν χαριν διο λεγει ο θεος υπερηφανοις αντιτασσεται ταπεινοις δε διδωσιν χαριν
7 Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
υποταγητε ουν τω θεω αντιστητε δε τω διαβολω και φευξεται αφ υμων
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and purify [your] hearts, ye double-minded.
εγγισατε τω θεω και {VAR1: εγγισει } {VAR2: εγγιει } υμιν καθαρισατε χειρας αμαρτωλοι και αγνισατε καρδιας διψυχοι
9 Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
ταλαιπωρησατε και πενθησατε και κλαυσατε ο γελως υμων εις πενθος μετατραπητω και η χαρα εις κατηφειαν
10 Humble yourselves before [the] Lord, and he shall exalt you.
ταπεινωθητε ενωπιον κυριου και υψωσει υμας
11 Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but judge.
μη καταλαλειτε αλληλων αδελφοι ο καταλαλων αδελφου η κρινων τον αδελφον αυτου καταλαλει νομου και κρινει νομον ει δε νομον κρινεις ουκ ει ποιητης νομου αλλα κριτης
12 One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou who judgest thy neighbour?
εις εστιν {VAR2: [ο] } νομοθετης και κριτης ο δυναμενος σωσαι και απολεσαι συ δε τις ει ο κρινων τον πλησιον
13 Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,
αγε νυν οι λεγοντες σημερον η αυριον πορευσομεθα εις τηνδε την πολιν και ποιησομεν εκει ενιαυτον και εμπορευσομεθα και κερδησομεν
14 ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing, )
οιτινες ουκ επιστασθε {VAR2: το } της αυριον ποια η ζωη υμων ατμις γαρ εστε {VAR2: η } προς ολιγον φαινομενη επειτα και αφανιζομενη
15 instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also do this or that.
αντι του λεγειν υμας εαν ο κυριος {VAR1: θελη } {VAR2: θεληση } και ζησομεν και ποιησομεν τουτο η εκεινο
16 But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.
νυν δε καυχασθε εν ταις αλαζονειαις υμων πασα καυχησις τοιαυτη πονηρα εστιν
17 To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
ειδοτι ουν καλον ποιειν και μη ποιουντι αμαρτια αυτω εστιν
