But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

highlighted James 4:4 ESV
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

highlighted James 4:2 ESV
You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

highlighted James 4:3 ESV
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

highlighted James 4:1 ESV
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?

highlighted James 3:12-16 ESV
Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

highlighted James 3:9-11 ESV
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.

highlighted James 3:3-8 ESV
If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

highlighted James 2:26 ESV
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Carol Williams
highlighted James 2:24 ESV
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Carol Williams
highlighted James 2:20-23 ESV
Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"—and he was called a friend of God.

highlighted James 2:19 ESV
You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!

Carol Williams
highlighted James 2:14-18 ESV
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

highlighted James 2:13 ESV
For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
