James 4:4-12 Ye adulterers and adulteresses! do you not know that the friendship of this world is enmity against God? Whoever therefore wisheth to be a friend of the world is adjudged an enemy of God.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Ye adulterers and adulteresses! do you not know that the friendship of this world is enmity against God? Whoever therefore wisheth to be a friend of the world is adjudged an enemy of God. ⁵ Do you think that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which dwelt in us excite desire to envy? ⁶ It granteth indeed a greater favour, therefore it saith, "God resisteth the proud, and granteth favour to the humble." ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ⁹ Be afflicted and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into grief; and your joy into con fusion of face. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he will exalt you. Speak not, brethren, against one another. He who speaketh against a brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh against law, and judgeth law. Now if thou judgest law, thou art not a doer of law, but a judge. ¹² There is but one [judge]: the lawgiver, who is able to save and destroy; who art thou who judgest another?
