James 4:1-7

Noyes(i) 1 Whence are wars and whence are fightings among you? Are they not hence, from your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and earnestly covet, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war. Ye have not, because ye ask not; 3 ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore chooseth to be a friend of the world, becometh an enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, "Zealously doth the Spirit, which made its abode in us, long for us"? 6 but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God; resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
