| 4:12 | But oon is makere of the lawe, and iuge, that may lese, and delyuere. |
| 4:13 | And who art thou, that demest thi neiybore? Lo! now ye, that seien, To dai ethir to morewe we schulen go in to thilke citee, and there we schulen dwelle a yeer, and we schulen make marchaundise, and we schulen make wynning; |

| 4:1 | From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members? |
| 4:2 | Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not. |
| 4:3 | Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures. |
| 4:4 | Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God. |
| 4:5 | Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie? |
| 4:6 | But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble. |
| 4:7 | Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you. |
| 4:8 | Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded. |
| 4:9 | Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse. |
| 4:10 | Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp. |
| 4:11 | Speake not euill one of another, brethren. He that speaketh euill of his brother, or he that condemneth his brother, speaketh euill of ye Law, and condemneth the Lawe: and if thou condemnest the Lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the Lawe, but a iudge. |
| 4:12 | There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man? |
| 4:13 | Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morowe we will goe into such a citie, and continue there a yeere, and bye and sell, and get gaine, |
| 4:14 | (And yet ye cannot tell what shalbe to morowe. For what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and afterward vanisheth away) |
| 4:15 | For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that. |
| 4:16 | But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill. |

| 4:1 | Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your lust for pleasure that war in your members? |
| 4:2 | You 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. |
| 4:3 | You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. |
| 4:4 | You adulterers 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 is the enemy of God. |
| 4:5 | Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"? |
| 4:6 | But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." |
| 4:7 | Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. |
| 4:8 | Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. |
| 4:9 | Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. |
| 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. |
| 4:11 | Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of his 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. |
| 4:12 | There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? |
| 4:13 | Come 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"; |
| 4:14 | whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. Because what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. |
| 4:15 | Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that." |
| 4:16 | But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. |
| 4:17 | Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. |
