1 πόθεν πόλεμοι καὶ πόθεν μάχαι ἐν ὑμῖν; οὐκ ἐντεῦθεν, ἐκ τῶν ἡδονῶν ὑμῶν τῶν στρατευομένων ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ὑμῶν;

2 ἐπιθυμεῖτε, καὶ οὐκ ἔχετε· φονεύετε καὶ ζηλοῦτε, καὶ οὐ δύνασθε ἐπιτυχεῖν· μάχεσθε καὶ πολεμεῖτε. οὐκ ἔχετε διὰ τὸ μὴ αἰτεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς·

3 αἰτεῖτε καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετε, διότι κακῶς αἰτεῖσθε, ἵνα ἐν ταῖς ἡδοναῖς ὑμῶν δαπανήσητε.

4 μοιχαλίδες, οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ φιλία τοῦ κόσμου ἔχθρα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν; ὃς ἐὰν οὗν βουληθῇ φίλος εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου, ἐχθρὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καθίσταται.

5 ἢ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ γραφὴ λέγει, πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα ὃ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν;

6 μείζονα δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν· διὸ λέγει, ὁ θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.

7 ὑποτάγητε οὗν τῶ θεῶ· ἀντίστητε δὲ τῶ διαβόλῳ, καὶ φεύξεται ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν·

8 ἐγγίσατε τῶ θεῶ, καὶ ἐγγιεῖ ὑμῖν. καθαρίσατε χεῖρας, ἁμαρτωλοί, καὶ ἁγνίσατε καρδίας, δίψυχοι.

9 ταλαιπωρήσατε καὶ πενθήσατε καὶ κλαύσατε· ὁ γέλως ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος μετατραπήτω καὶ ἡ χαρὰ εἰς κατήφειαν.

10 ταπεινώθητε ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς.

11 μὴ καταλαλεῖτε ἀλλήλων, ἀδελφοί· ὁ καταλαλῶν ἀδελφοῦ ἢ κρίνων τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καταλαλεῖ νόμου καὶ κρίνει νόμον· εἰ δὲ νόμον κρίνεις, οὐκ εἶ ποιητὴς νόμου ἀλλὰ κριτής.

12 εἷς ἐστιν [ὁ] νομοθέτης καὶ κριτής, ὁ δυνάμενος σῶσαι καὶ ἀπολέσαι· σὺ δὲ τίς εἶ, ὁ κρίνων τὸν πλησίον;

13 ἄγε νῦν οἱ λέγοντες, σήμερον ἢ αὔριον πορευσόμεθα εἰς τήνδε τὴν πόλιν καὶ ποιήσομεν ἐκεῖ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐμπορευσόμεθα καὶ κερδήσομεν·

14 οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τὸ τῆς αὔριον ποία ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν. ἀτμὶς γάρ ἐστε ἡ πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη, ἔπειτα καὶ ἀφανιζομένη·

15 ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν ὁ κύριος θελήσῃ, καὶ ζήσομεν καὶ ποιήσομεν τοῦτο ἢ ἐκεῖνο.

16 νῦν δὲ καυχᾶσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀλαζονείαις ὑμῶν· πᾶσα καύχησις τοιαύτη πονηρά ἐστιν.

17 εἰδότι οὗν καλὸν ποιεῖν καὶ μὴ ποιοῦντι, ἁμαρτία αὐτῶ ἐστιν.

1  From whence⁴¹⁵⁹ come wars⁴¹⁷¹ and²⁵³² fightings³¹⁶³ among¹⁷²² you?⁵²¹³ come they not³⁷⁵⁶ hence,¹⁷⁸² even of¹⁵³⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ lusts²²³⁷ that war⁴⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ members?³¹⁹⁶

2  Ye lust,¹⁹³⁷ and²⁵³² have²¹⁹² not:³⁷⁵⁶ ye kill,⁵⁴⁰⁷ and²⁵³² desire to have,²²⁰⁶ and²⁵³² cannot^{1410 3756} obtain:²⁰¹³ ye fight³¹⁶⁴ and²⁵³² war,⁴¹⁷⁰ yet¹¹⁶¹ ye have²¹⁹² not,³⁷⁵⁶ because ye⁵²⁰⁹ ask¹⁵⁴ not.³³⁶¹

3  Ye ask,¹⁵⁴ and²⁵³² receive²⁹⁸³ not,³⁷⁵⁶ because¹³⁶⁰ ye ask¹⁵⁴ amiss,²⁵⁶⁰ that²⁴⁴³ ye may consume¹¹⁵⁹ it upon¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ lusts.²²³⁷

4  Ye adulterers³⁴³² and²⁵³² adulteresses,³⁴²⁸ know¹⁴⁹² ye not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ friendship⁵³⁷³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ enmity²¹⁸⁹ with God?²³¹⁶ whosoever^{3739 302} therefore³⁷⁶⁷ will¹⁰¹⁴ be¹⁵¹¹ a friend⁵³⁸⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ is²⁵²⁵ the enemy²¹⁹⁰ of God.²³¹⁶

5  Do ye²²²⁸ think¹³⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scripture¹¹²⁴ saith³⁰⁰⁴ in vain,²⁷⁶¹ The³⁵⁸⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ that³⁷³⁹ dwelleth²⁷³⁰ in¹⁷²² us²²⁵⁴ lusteth¹⁹⁷¹ to⁴³¹⁴ envy?⁵³⁵⁵

6  But¹¹⁶¹ he giveth¹³²⁵ more³¹⁸⁷ grace.⁵⁴⁸⁵ Wherefore¹³⁵² he saith,³⁰⁰⁴ God²³¹⁶ resisteth⁴⁹⁸ the proud,⁵²⁴⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ giveth¹³²⁵ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ unto the humble.⁵⁰¹¹

7  Submit⁵²⁹³ yourselves therefore³⁷⁶⁷ to God.²³¹⁶ Resist⁴³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ devil,¹²²⁸ and²⁵³² he will flee⁵³⁴³ from⁵⁷⁵ you.⁵²¹⁶

8  Draw nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ to God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² he will draw nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ to you.⁵²¹³ Cleanse²⁵¹¹ your hands,⁵⁴⁹⁵ ye sinners;²⁶⁸ and²⁵³² purify⁴⁸ your hearts,²⁵⁸⁸ ye double minded.¹³⁷⁴

9  Be afflicted,⁵⁰⁰³ and²⁵³² mourn,³⁹⁹⁶ and²⁵³² weep:²⁷⁹⁹ let your⁵²¹⁶ laughter¹⁰⁷¹ be turned³³⁴⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ mourning,³⁹⁹⁷ and²⁵³² your joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ heaviness.²⁷²⁶

10  Humble yourselves⁵⁰¹³ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² he shall lift you up.^{5312 5209}

11  Speak not evil^{2635 3361} one of another,²⁴⁰ brethren.⁸⁰ He that speaketh evil²⁶³⁵ of his brother,⁸⁰ and²⁵³² judgeth²⁹¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ brother,⁸⁰ speaketh evil²⁶³⁵ of the law,³⁵⁵¹ and²⁵³² judgeth²⁹¹⁹ the law:³⁵⁵¹ but¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ thou judge²⁹¹⁹ the law,³⁵⁵¹ thou art¹⁴⁸⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ a doer⁴¹⁶³ of the law,³⁵⁵¹ but²³⁵ a judge.²⁹²³

12  There is²⁰⁷⁶ one¹⁵²⁰ lawgiver,³⁵⁵⁰ who is able¹⁴¹⁰ to save⁴⁹⁸² and²⁵³² to destroy:⁶²² who⁵¹⁰¹ art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ that³⁷³⁹ judgest²⁹¹⁹ another?²⁰⁸⁷

13  Go to³³ now,³⁵⁶⁸ ye that say,³⁰⁰⁴ Today⁴⁵⁹⁴ or²⁵³² tomorrow⁸³⁹ we will go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ such³⁵⁹² a city,⁴¹⁷² and²⁵³² continue⁴¹⁶⁰ there¹⁵⁶³ a¹⁵²⁰ year,¹⁷⁶³ and²⁵³² buy and sell,¹⁷¹⁰ and²⁵³² get gain:²⁷⁷⁰

14  Whereas³⁷⁴⁸ ye know¹⁹⁸⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ what³⁵⁸⁸ shall be on the³⁵⁸⁸ morrow.⁸³⁹ For¹⁰⁶³ what⁴¹⁶⁹ is your⁵²¹⁶ life?²²²² It is²⁰⁷⁶ even¹⁰⁶³ a vapor,⁸²² that appeareth⁵³¹⁶ for⁴³¹⁴ a little time,³⁶⁴¹ and¹¹⁶¹ then¹⁸⁹⁹ vanisheth away.⁸⁵³

15  For⁴⁷³ that ye⁵²⁰⁹ ought to say,³⁰⁰⁴ If¹⁴³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² will,²³⁰⁹ we shall²⁵³² live,²¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² do⁴¹⁶⁰ this,⁵¹²⁴ or²²²⁸ that.¹⁵⁶⁵

16  But¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁶⁸ ye rejoice²⁷⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ boastings:²¹² all³⁹⁵⁶ such⁵¹⁰⁸ rejoicing²⁷⁴⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ evil.⁴¹⁹⁰

17  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ to him that knoweth¹⁴⁹² to do⁴¹⁶⁰ good,²⁵⁷⁰ and²⁵³² doeth⁴¹⁶⁰ it not,³³⁶¹ to him⁸⁴⁶ it is²⁰⁷⁶ sin.²⁶⁶

1 Unde bella et lites in vobis? nonne hinc: ex concupiscentiis vestris, quæ militant in membris vestris?

2 concupiscitis, et non habetis: occiditis, et zelatis: et non potestis adipisci: litigatis, et belligeratis, et non habetis, propter quod non postulatis.

3 Petitis, et non accipitis: eo quod male petatis: ut in concupiscentiis vestris insumatis.

4 Adulteri, nescitis quia amicitia hujus mundi inimica est Dei? quicumque ergo voluerit amicus esse sæculi hujus, inimicus Dei constituitur.

5 An putatis quia inaniter Scriptura dicat: Ad invidiam concupiscit spiritus qui habitat in vobis?

6 majorem autem dat gratiam. Propter quod dicit: Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.

7 Subditi ergo estote Deo, resistite autem diabolo, et fugiet a vobis.

8 Appropinquate Deo, et appropinquabit vobis. Emundate manus, peccatores: et purificate corda, duplices animo.

9 Miseri estote, et lugete, et plorate: risus vester in luctum convertatur, et gaudium in mœrorem.

10 Humiliamini in conspectu Domini, et exaltabit vos.

11 Nolite detrahere alterutrum fratres. Qui detrahit fratri, aut qui judicat fratrem suum, detrahit legi, et judicat legem. Si autem judicas legem, non es factor legis, sed judex.

12 Unus est legislator et judex, qui potest perdere et liberare.

13 Tu autem quis es, qui judicas proximum? Ecce nunc qui dicitis: Hodie, aut crastino ibimus in illam civitatem, et faciemus ibi quidem annum, et mercabimur, et lucrum faciemus:

14 qui ignoratis quid erit in crastino.

15 Quæ est enim vita vestra? vapor est ad modicum parens, et deinceps exterminabitur; pro eo ut dicatis: Si Dominus voluerit. Et: Si vixerimus, faciemus hoc, aut illud.

16 Nunc autem exsultatis in superbiis vestris. Omnis exsultatio talis, maligna est.

17 Scienti igitur bonum facere, et non facienti, peccatum est illi.
