New International Version
James 3:14-4:2
New International Version
14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(A) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(B) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(C) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(D) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(E) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(F) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(G) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(H) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(I) 18 Peacemakers(J) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(K)
Submit Yourselves to God
4 What causes fights and quarrels(L) among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle(M) within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill.(N) You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
James 3:14-4:2
King James Version
James 3:14-4:2
King James Version
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
