Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1ποθεν πολεμοι και μαχαι εν υμιν ουκ εντευθεν εκ των ηδονων υμων των στρατευομενων εν τοισ μελεσιν υμων
1From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?
2επιθυμειτε και ουκ εχετε φονευετε και ζηλουτε και ου δυνασθε επιτυχειν μαχεσθε και πολεμειτε ουκ εχετε δια το μη αιτεισθαι υμασ
2You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not.
3αιτειτε και ου λαμβανετε διοτι κακωσ αιτεισθε ινα εν ταισ ηδοναισ υμων δαπανησητε
3You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
4μοιχοι και μοιχαλιδεσ ουκ οιδατε οτι η φιλια του κοσμου εχθρα του θεου εστιν οσ αν ουν βουληθη φιλοσ ειναι του κοσμου εχθροσ του θεου καθισταται
4Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.
5η δοκειτε οτι κενωσ η γραφη λεγει προσ φθονον επιποθει το 3588 T-NSN πνευμα 4151 N-NSN ο κατωκησεν εν ημιν
5Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
6μειζονα δε διδωσιν χαριν διο λεγει ο θεοσ υπερηφανοισ αντιτασσεται ταπεινοισ δε διδωσιν χαριν
6But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
7υποταγητε ουν τω θεω αντιστητε δε τω διαβολω και φευξεται αφ υμων
7Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you.
8εγγισατε τω θεω και εγγιει υμιν καθαρισατε χειρασ αμαρτωλοι και αγνισατε καρδιασ διψυχοι
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9ταλαιπωρησατε και πενθησατε και κλαυσατε ο γελωσ υμων εισ πενθοσ μεταστραφητω και η χαρα εισ κατηφειαν
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow.
10ταπεινωθητε ενωπιον του κυριου και υψωσει υμασ
10Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11μη καταλαλειτε αλληλων αδελφοι ο καταλαλων αδελφου και κρινων τον αδελφον αυτου καταλαλει νομου και κρινει νομον ει δε νομον κρινεισ ουκ ει ποιητησ νομου αλλα κριτησ
11Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12εισ εστιν ο νομοθετησ ο δυναμενοσ σωσαι και απολεσαι συ δε τισ ει οσ κρινεισ τον ετερον
12There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.
13αγε νυν οι λεγοντεσ σημερον και αυριον πορευσωμεθα εισ τηνδε την πολιν και ποιησωμεν εκει ενιαυτον ενα και εμπορευσωμεθα και κερδησωμεν
13But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain.
14οιτινεσ ουκ επιστασθε το τησ αυριον ποια γαρ η ζωη υμων ατμισ γαρ εσται η προσ ολιγον φαινομενη επειτα δε και αφανιζομενη
14Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
15αντι του λεγειν υμασ εαν ο κυριοσ θεληση και ζησωμεν και ποιησωμεν τουτο η εκεινο
15For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.
16νυν δε καυχασθε εν ταισ αλαζονειαισ υμων πασα καυχησισ τοιαυτη πονηρα εστιν
16But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.
17ειδοτι ουν καλον ποιειν και μη ποιουντι αμαρτια αυτω εστιν
17To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.
