• 1 From whence come warres and fightings among you? come they not hence, euen of your lusts, that warre in your members?
• 2 Ye lust, and haue not: yee kill, and desire to haue, and cannot obtaine: yee fight and warre, yet yee haue not, because ye aske not.
• 3 Ye aske and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that yee may consume it vpon your lusts.
• 4 Ye adulterers, and adulteresses, know yee not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, is the enemy of God.
• 5 Doe ye thinke that the Scripture saith in vaine, the spirit that dwelleth in vs lusteth to enuy?

• 7 Submit your selues therefore to God: resist the deuill, and hee will flee from you.
• 8 Draw nigh to God, and hee will draw nigh to you: cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purifie your hearts yee double minded.
• 9 Bee afflicted, and mourne, and weepe: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your ioy to heauinesse.
• 10 Humble your selues in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you vp.
• 11 Speake not euill one of another (brethren:) he that speaketh euill of his brother, and iudgeth his brother, speaketh euill of the Law, and iudgeth the Law: but if thou iudge the Law, thou art not a doer of the Law, but a iudge.
• 12 There is one Lawgiuer, who is able to saue, and to destroy: who art thou that iudgest another?
• 13 Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morrow wee will goe into such a city and continue there a yere, and buy, and sell, and get gaine:
• 14 Whereas yee know not what shalbe on the morow: for what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and then vanisheth away.
• 15 For that yee ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall liue, and doe this, or that.
• 16 But now yee reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill.
• 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to doe good, and doth it not, to him it is sinne.
