The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 4

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

2: 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.

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

4: 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.

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

6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace untothe humble.
Prov 3:34 1 Pet 5:5

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

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

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

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

11: 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.

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

13: 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 getgain:

14: Whereas 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.

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

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

17: Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
James 5
