James 4

Gen Z: James 4

1Where do all these fights come from? They’re just your cravings clashing, no cap.

2You’re out here wanting stuff but don’t get it; you’re killing the vibe, trying to get what’s not yours, and still coming up empty.

3You ask for things but don’t get them 'cause you’re asking for the wrong reasons, just to feed your cravings.

4Yo, you cheaters, don’t you know being tight with the world means you’re not tight with God? If you’re down with the world, you’re low-key God's enemy.

5Think the scripture’s just playing? Nah, the spirit in us gets mad jealous, fr.

6But God’s got more grace to give. He’s all about the humble, but the proud? Nah, he’s not vibing with that.

7So, submit to God, resist the devil, and he’ll bounce, periodt.

8Get close to God, and He’ll get close to you. Clean up your act, sinners; fix your hearts, you double-minded peeps.

9Feel the feels, cry it out; turn that laughter into tears and joy into a heavy heart.

10Stay humble in front of the Lord, and He’ll lift you up, no cap.

11Don’t be throwing shade at each other, fam. If you’re judging your bro, you’re judging the law too, and that’s sus.

12There’s only one lawgiver who can save or destroy; who do you think you are judging others?

13Yo, you saying you’ll hit up the city tomorrow and make bank? Chill.

14You don’t even know what tomorrow holds. Life’s just a mist that’s here one minute and gone the next.

15For real, you should say, “If the Lord’s down, we’ll live and do this or that.”

16But now you’re just flexing, and all that bragging is straight-up evil.

17So, if you know what’s good and don’t do it, that’s on you, fam; that’s sin.

KJV: James 4

1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

2Ye 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.

3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

4Ye 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.

5Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

11Speak 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.

12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

13Go 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:

14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
