Pakikipagkaibigan sa Sanlibutan
4 Ano ba ang sanhi ng inyong mga alitan at pag-aaway? Hindi ba't ang mga ito'y dahil sa inyong mga layaw na naglalaban-laban sa loob ng inyong pagkatao? 2 Naghahangad kayo ngunit hindi mapasainyo. Kaya't pumapatay kayo. Hindi ninyo makuha ang mga bagay na hinahangad ninyo kaya kayo'y nagkakagalit at naglalaban-laban. Hindi ninyo makuha ang inyong hinahangad dahil hindi kayo humihingi sa Diyos. 3 Kung humingi man kayo, hindi rin ninyo matatanggap sapagkat hindi tama ang inyong layunin. Humihingi kayo upang gamitin sa inyong kalayawan. 4 Mga taksil! Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang pakikipagkaibigan sa sanlibutan ay pakikipag-away sa Diyos? Kaya't sinumang nagnanais maging kaibigan ng sanlibutan ay nagiging kaaway ng Diyos. 5 Huwag ninyong ipagwalang-bahala ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan, “Ayaw ng Diyos na may kaagaw siya sa espiritu na ibinigay niya upang manirahan sa atin.” 6 Ngunit (A) ang Diyos ay nagkakaloob ng higit pang biyaya. Kaya naman sinasabi, “Sinasalungat ng Diyos ang mga mapagmataas ngunit pinagpapala niya ang mga mapagpakumbaba.” 7 Kaya't pasakop kayo sa Diyos. Labanan ninyo ang diyablo, at siya ay tatakbo palayo sa inyo. 8 Lumapit kayo sa Diyos, at lalapit siya sa inyo. Hugasan ninyo ang inyong mga kamay, kayong mga makasalanan! Gawin ninyong dalisay ang inyong puso, kayong mga nagdadalawang-isip. 9 Managhoy, magluksa at tumangis. Palitan ninyo ang inyong pagtawa ng pagluluksa, at ang inyong kagalakan ng kalungkutan. 10 Magpakumbaba kayo sa harap ng Panginoon, at itataas niya kayo.
Babala Laban sa Paghatol
11 Mga kapatid, huwag kayong magsalita ng masama laban sa isa't isa. Sinumang magsalita laban sa kanyang kapatid, o humahatol dito ay nagsasalita ng masama laban sa Kautusan at humahatol sa Kautusan. Ngunit kung ikaw ay humahatol sa Kautusan, hindi ka na tagatupad ng Kautusan, kundi isang hukom. 12 Iisa lamang ang nagbigay ng Kautusan at siya rin ang hukom na may kapangyarihang magligtas at pumuksa. Kaya sino ka para humatol sa iyong kapwa?
Babala Laban sa Kapalaluan
13 Makinig (B) kayo, kayong nagsasabi, “Ngayon o bukas ay pupunta kami sa ganito o ganoong bayan, at isang taon kaming titigil doon, mangangalakal at kikita nang malaki.” 14 Bakit, alam ba ninyo ang mangyayari bukas? Ano ba ang inyong buhay? Ang buhay ninyo'y usok lamang na sandaling lumilitaw at agad naglalaho. 15 Sa halip, ang dapat ninyong sabihin ay, “Kung loloobin ng Panginoon, mabubuhay pa kami at gagawin namin ito o iyon.” 16 Ngunit kayo ngayon ay nagmamalaki sa inyong kayabangan! Masama ang lahat ng ganyang kayabangan! 17 Kaya sinumang nakaaalam ng mabuti na dapat niyang gawin ngunit hindi ito ginagawa, ibibilang itong kasalanan niya.

James 4

Submit Yourselves to God
4 What causes fights and quarrels(A) among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle(B) within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill.(C) You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive,(D) because you ask with wrong motives,(E) that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4 You adulterous(F) people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world(G) means enmity against God?(H) Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.(I) 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]?(J) 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil,(L) and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.(M) Wash your hands,(N) you sinners, and purify your hearts,(O) you double-minded.(P) 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.(Q) 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.(R)
11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another.(S) Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[d] or judges them(T) speaks against the law(U) and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it,(V) but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge,(W) the one who is able to save and destroy.(X) But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?(Y)
Boasting About Tomorrow
13 Now listen,(Z) you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”(AA) 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.(AB) 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will,(AC) we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.(AD) 17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.(AE)
