雅各书 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
骄傲与谦卑
4 你们中间的冲突是从哪里来的？争执是从哪里来的？难道不是从你们身体各部分中交战的私欲而来的吗？ 2 你们渴望而不能拥有，就杀人；你们嫉妒而不能获得，就争斗、作战。你们不能拥有，是因为你们不求； 3 你们求也不能得到，是因为你们求的动机[a]不对，为了要花费在自己的私欲上。
4 你们这些淫乱的人[b]哪！难道你们不知道，与世界为友，就是与神为敌吗？所以，如果有人想要和世界做朋友，他就成了神的仇敌！ 5 或者，你们以为经上所说的“神[c]使圣灵住在我们里面，他爱我们[d]到嫉妒的地步”是空话吗？
6 不过他赐下更大的恩典，所以经上说：
“神抵挡骄傲的人，
赐恩典给谦卑的人。”[e]
7 因此，你们要服从神，要抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼就会逃避你们。 8 你们要亲近神，神就会亲近你们。你们这些罪人哪，当使你们的手洁净！心怀二意的人哪，当使你们的心纯洁！ 9 你们应当难过、悲伤、痛哭；把你们的欢笑变为悲伤，快乐变为忧闷。 10 你们当在主面前降卑，他就会高举你们。
11 弟兄们，你们不可彼此诽谤。诽谤弟兄或评断自己弟兄的，就是诽谤律法、评断律法。如果你评断律法，你就不是实行律法的人，而是个审判者了。 12 那设立律法的和审判者[f]，只有一位；他就是既能拯救又能毁灭的那一位。而你到底是谁，竟然评断邻人呢？
不要自夸
13 现在来吧！你们这些人哪，你们说“今天或明天，我们要到某某城去，要在那里住上一年，做生意赚钱。” 14 你们不知道明天是什么、生命是什么！你们不过是一阵云雾，出现片刻，随后就消失了。
15 你们倒应该说：“主如果愿意，我们就将活着，做这事或做那事。” 16 但如今，你们在自己的骄傲中夸耀。凡是这样的夸耀，都是邪恶的。 17 所以，那知道该行美善的事而不去行的，对他来说，这就是罪了。
雅各书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
不要与世俗为友
4 你们彼此冲突、互相斗殴的起因是什么呢？不就是你们身体中不断交战的欲望吗？ 2 你们贪心，得不到就去杀人。你们嫉妒，得不到就争吵、打斗。你们得不到是因为你们不向上帝祈求。 3 你们求也得不到是因为你们动机不纯，只求享乐和满足自己的欲望。 4 你们这些对主不忠的人啊，难道还不明白与世俗为友就是与上帝为敌吗？所以，凡是与世俗为友的，都是上帝的敌人。 5 圣经上说：“上帝所赐、住在我们心里的圣灵深愿我们完全属于祂。”你们以为这是空谈吗？ 6 但上帝赐给我们更大的恩典，所以圣经上说：“上帝阻挡骄傲的人，恩待谦卑的人。”
7 因此，你们要服从上帝，抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼必逃离你们。 8 你们亲近上帝，上帝就必亲近你们。有罪的人啊，洗净你们的手吧！三心二意的人啊，洁净你们的心吧！ 9 你们要悲伤、忧愁、痛哭，转欢笑为悲哀，变欢乐为愁苦。 10 你们要在主面前谦卑，祂必擢升你们。
不要论断
11 弟兄姊妹，不要彼此批评。批评、论断弟兄姊妹就等于是批评、论断律法。如果你论断律法，你就不是遵行律法的人，而是以审判者自居。 12 设立律法和审判人的只有一位，就是能拯救人也能毁灭人的上帝。你是谁，竟然论断别人呢？
警戒自夸
13 你们有些人说：“今天或是明天，我们要往某某城去，在那里逗留一年半载，做生意赚钱。” 14 其实你们根本不知道明天会发生什么事。你们的生命是什么呢？你们只不过像一阵雾气，出现片刻，就无影无踪了。 15 你们只当说：“如果主许可，我们就可以活着，可以做这事或做那事。” 16 现在，你们竟敢傲慢自夸，这实属邪恶。 17 所以人若知道善而不去行，就是犯罪。

Draw Near to God
4 [a]What is the source of quarrels and (A)conflicts among you? [b]Is not the source your pleasures that wage (B)war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have, so you (C)murder. You are envious and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and (D)do not receive, because you ask [c]with wrong motives, so that you may spend it [d]on your pleasures. 4 You (E)adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with (F)the world is (G)enmity toward God? (H)Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world sets himself as an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture (I)speaks to no purpose: “[e]He [f]jealously desires (J)the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”? 6 But (K)He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “(L)God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 (M)Be subject therefore to God. (N)Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 (O)Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (P)Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and (Q)purify your hearts, you (R)double-minded. 9 (S)Be miserable and mourn and cry. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 (T)Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
11 (U)Do not slander one another, (V)brothers. He who slanders a brother or (W)judges his brother, slanders (X)the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not (Y)a doer of the law but a judge of it. 12 There is only one (Z)Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is (AA)able to save and to destroy. But (AB)who are you who judge your neighbor?
Life Is a Vapor
13 (AC)Come now, you who say, “(AD)Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” 14 [g]Yet you do not know [h]what your life will be like tomorrow. (AE)You are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. 15 [i]Instead, you ought to say, “(AF)If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” 16 But as it is, you boast in your [j]arrogance. (AG)All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, (AH)to one who knows to do the [k]right thing and does not do it, to him it is sin.
