James 4
1 Where do conflicts and quarrels among you come from? Do they not come from your passions that war in your members?
ποθεν πολεμοι και μαχαι εν υμιν ουκ εντευθεν εκ των ηδονων υμων των στρατευομενων εν τοισ μελεσιν υμων
2 You lust, and do not have. You kill, covet, and cannot obtain. You fight and make war. You do not have, because you do not ask.
επιθυμειτε και ουκ εχετε φονευετε και ζηλουτε και ου δυνασθε επιτυχειν μαχεσθε και πολεμειτε ουκ εχετε δια το μη αιτεισθαι υμασ
3 You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
αιτειτε και ου λαμβανετε διοτι κακωσ αιτεισθε ινα εν ταισ ηδοναισ υμων δαπανησητε
4 You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
μοιχοι και μοιχαλιδεσ ουκ οιδατε οτι η φιλια του κοσμου εχθρα του θεου εστιν οσ αν ουν βουληθη φιλοσ ειναι του κοσμου εχθροσ του θεου καθισταται
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Rukha which he made to dwell in us yearns jealously"?
η δοκειτε οτι κενωσ η γραφη λεγει προσ φθονον επιποθει το πνευμα ο κατωκησεν εν ημιν
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
μειζονα δε διδωσιν χαριν διο λεγει ο θεοσ υπερηφανοισ αντιτασσεται ταπεινοισ δε διδωσιν χαριν
7 Be subject therefore to God. But 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, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
εγγισατε τω θεω και εγγιει υμιν καθαρισατε χειρασ αμαρτωλοι και αγνισατε καρδιασ διψυχοι
9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
ταλαιπωρησατε και πενθησατε και κλαυσατε ο γελωσ υμων εισ πενθοσ μεταστραφητω και η χαρα εισ κατηφειαν
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
ταπεινωθητε ενωπιον του κυριου και υψωσει υμασ
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
μη καταλαλειτε αλληλων αδελφοι ο καταλαλων αδελφου και κρινων τον αδελφον αυτου καταλαλει νομου και κρινει νομον ει δε νομον κρινεισ ουκ ει ποιητησ νομου αλλα κριτησ
12 Only one is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
εισ εστιν ο νομοθετησ ο δυναμενοσ σωσαι και απολεσαι συ δε τισ ει οσ κρινεισ τον ετερον
13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let us go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
αγε νυν οι λεγοντεσ σημερον και αυριον πορευσωμεθα εισ τηνδε την πολιν και ποιησωμεν εκει ενιαυτον ενα και εμπορευσωμεθα και κερδησωμεν
14 Whereas you do not know what tomorrow will be like. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
οιτινεσ ουκ επιστασθε το τησ αυριον ποια γαρ η ζωη υμων ατμισ γαρ εσται η προσ ολιγον φαινομενη επειτα δε και αφανιζομενη
15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."
αντι του λεγειν υμασ εαν ο κυριοσ θεληση και ζησωμεν και ποιησωμεν τουτο η εκεινο
16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
νυν δε καυχασθε εν ταισ αλαζονειαισ υμων πασα καυχησισ τοιαυτη πονηρα εστιν
17 To him therefore who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.
ειδοτι ουν καλον ποιειν και μη ποιουντι αμαρτια αυτω εστιν
