Ye lust, andhavenot: ye kill, anddesire to have, andcannotobtain: ye fightandwar, yetye havenot, because yeasknot. Ye ask, andreceivenot, becauseye askamiss, thatye may consume it uponyourlusts. Ye adulterersandadulteresses, knowye notthatthefriendshipof theworldisenmitywith God? whosoeverthereforewillbea friendof theworldisthe enemyof God. Do yethinkthattheScripturesaithin vain, Thespiritthatdwellethinuslustethtoenvy? Buthe givethmoregrace. Whereforehe saith, Godresisteththe proud, butgivethgraceunto the humble. Submityourselves thereforeto God. Resistthedevil, andhe will fleefromyou. Draw nighto God, andhe will draw nighto you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; andpurify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, andmourn, andweep: let yourlaughterbe turnedtomourning, and your joytoheaviness. Humble yourselvesin the sightof theLord, andhe shall lift you up. Speak not evilone of another, brethren. He that speaketh evilof his brother, andjudgethhisbrother, speaketh evilof the law, andjudgeththe law: butifthou judgethe law, thou artnota doerof the law, buta judge.
