1Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?1Πόθεν πόλεμοι καὶ πόθεν μάχαι ἐν ὑμῖν οὐκ ἐντεῦθεν ἐκ τῶν ἡδονῶν ὑμῶν τῶν στρατευομένων ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ὑμῶν
2You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.2ἐπιθυμεῖτε καὶ οὐκ ἔχετε φονεύετε καὶ ζηλοῦτε καὶ οὐ δύνασθε ἐπιτυχεῖν μάχεσθε καὶ πολεμεῖτε οὐκ ἔχετε διὰ τὸ μὴ αἰτεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς
3You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.3αἰτεῖτε καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετε διότι κακῶς αἰτεῖσθε ἵνα ἐν ταῖς ἡδοναῖς ὑμῶν δαπανήσητε
4Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.4Μοιχαλίδες οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι φιλία τοῦ κόσμου ἔχθρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ὃς ἐὰν οὖν βουληθῇ φίλος εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου ἐχθρὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καθίσταται
5Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?5 δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς γραφὴ λέγει Πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν
6But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”6μείζονα δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν διὸ λέγει Θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν
7Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.7Ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ Θεῷ ἀντίστητε δὲ τῷ διαβόλῳ καὶ φεύξεται ἀφ’ ὑμῶν
8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.8ἐγγίσατε τῷ Θεῷ καὶ ἐγγιεῖ* ὑμῖν καθαρίσατε χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλοί καὶ ἁγνίσατε καρδίας δίψυχοι
9Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.9ταλαιπωρήσατε καὶ πενθήσατε καὶ κλαύσατε γέλως ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος μετατραπήτω καὶ χαρὰ εἰς κατήφειαν
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.10ταπεινώθητε ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς
11Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.11Μὴ καταλαλεῖτε ἀλλήλων ἀδελφοί καταλαλῶν ἀδελφοῦ κρίνων τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καταλαλεῖ νόμου καὶ κρίνει νόμον εἰ δὲ νόμον κρίνεις οὐκ εἶ ποιητὴς νόμου ἀλλὰ κριτής
12There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?12εἷς ἐστιν [ὁ] νομοθέτης καὶ κριτής δυνάμενος σῶσαι καὶ ἀπολέσαι σὺ δὲ τίς εἶ κρίνων τὸν πλησίον
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”;13Ἄγε νῦν οἱ λέγοντες Σήμερον αὔριον πορευσόμεθα εἰς τήνδε τὴν πόλιν καὶ ποιήσομεν ἐκεῖ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐμπορευσόμεθα καὶ κερδήσομεν
14whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.14οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε ‹τὸ› τῆς αὔριον ποία ζωὴ ὑμῶν ἀτμὶς γάρ ἐστε πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη ἔπειτα καὶ ἀφανιζομένη
15Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”15Ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν ὑμᾶς Ἐὰν Κύριος θελήσῃ καὶ ζήσομεν καὶ ποιήσομεν τοῦτο ἐκεῖνο
16But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.16νῦν δὲ καυχᾶσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀλαζονείαις* ὑμῶν πᾶσα καύχησις τοιαύτη πονηρά ἐστιν
17Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.17εἰδότι οὖν καλὸν ποιεῖν καὶ μὴ ποιοῦντι ἁμαρτία αὐτῷ ἐστιν
