World English Bible
1ποθεν πολεμοι και μαχαι εν υμιν ουκ εντευθεν εκ των ηδονων υμων των στρατευομενων εν τοισ μελεσιν υμων
1Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that 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 lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.
3αιτειτε και ου λαμβανετε διοτι κακωσ αιτεισθε ινα εν ταισ ηδοναισ υμων δαπανησητε
3You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
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
4You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself 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 says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
6μειζονα δε διδωσιν χαριν διο λεγει ο θεοσ υπερηφανοισ αντιτασσεται ταπεινοισ δε διδωσιν χαριν
6But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7υποταγητε ουν τω θεω αντιστητε δε τω διαβολω και φευξεται αφ υμων
7Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8εγγισατε τω θεω και εγγιει υμιν καθαρισατε χειρασ αμαρτωλοι και αγνισατε καρδιασ διψυχοι
8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9ταλαιπωρησατε και πενθησατε και κλαυσατε ο γελωσ υμων εισ πενθοσ μεταστραφητω και η χαρα εισ κατηφειαν
9Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10ταπεινωθητε ενωπιον του κυριου και υψωσει υμασ
10Humble yourselves 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
11Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are 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
12Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
13αγε νυν οι λεγοντεσ σημερον και αυριον πορευσωμεθα εισ τηνδε την πολιν και ποιησωμεν εκει ενιαυτον ενα και εμπορευσωμεθα και κερδησωμεν
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
14οιτινεσ ουκ επιστασθε το τησ αυριον ποια γαρ η ζωη υμων ατμισ γαρ εσται η προσ ολιγον φαινομενη επειτα δε και αφανιζομενη
14Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
15αντι του λεγειν υμασ εαν ο κυριοσ θεληση και ζησωμεν και ποιησωμεν τουτο η εκεινο
15For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
16νυν δε καυχασθε εν ταισ αλαζονειαισ υμων πασα καυχησισ τοιαυτη πονηρα εστιν
16But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17ειδοτι ουν καλον ποιειν και μη ποιουντι αμαρτια αυτω εστιν
17To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
