59:003:011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and
bitter?
59:003:012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a
vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and
fresh.
59:003:013 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him
shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of
wisdom.
59:003:014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory
not, and lie not against the truth.
59:003:015 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly,
sensual, devilish.
59:003:016 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every
evil work.
59:003:017 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and
good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
59:003:018 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that
make peace.
59:004:001 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not
hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
59:004:002 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot
obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
59:004:003 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may
consume it upon your lusts.
59:004:004 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
59:004:005 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that
dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
59:004:006 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
59:004:007 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you.
59:004:008 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your
hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
59:004:009 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned
to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
59:004:010 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift
you up.
59:004:011 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil
of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the
law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art
not a doer of the law, but a judge.
59:004:012 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who
art thou that judgest another?
59:004:013 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into
such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and
get gain:
