The Power of Patience and Prayer

James Chapter 4 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible addresses adulterers and adulteresses," saying that whosoever practices this activity is a friends with the world and an enemy of God.

He goes on to say that the root of conflicts and disagreements is from own selfish desires and lusts. He urges humility before God, to resist the devil, and draw near to God, promising that God will in turn draw near as well.

James also warns against speaking evil of one another and judging one another, emphasizing that there is only one Lawgiver and Judge.


He then admonishes those who boast about their future plans without considering God's will and sovereignty. He reminds the brethren there that life is short and uncertain, and that they should instead focus on doing God's will and serving others.

The chapter concludes with a warning to those who hoard wealth and live in luxury at the expense of others, calling them to weep and mourn for their sins and turn back to God. James urges to use wealth to help ones in need and to be good stewards of the blessings God has given them.

James 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 unto the humble.

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, and your 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 get gain:

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.
