1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?2Ye 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.3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.4Ye 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.5Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.11Speak 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.12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?13Go 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:14Whereas 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.15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

التواضع ومقاومة إبليس

1مِنْ أَيْنَ الْحُرُوبُ وَالْخُصُومَاتُ بَيْنَكُمْ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ مِنْ هُنَا، مِنْ لَذَّاتِكُمُ المُحَارِبَةِ فِي أَعْضَائِكُمْ؟2تَشْتَهُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ تَمْتَلِكُونَ، تَقْتُلُونَ وَتَحْسِدُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَنَالُوا، تُخَاصِمُونَ وَتُحَارِبُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ تَمْتَلِكُونَ لأَنَّكُمْ لاَ تَطْلُبُونَ،3تَطْلُبُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ تَأْخُذُونَ لأَنَّكُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ رَدِيّاً لِكَيْ تُنْفِقُوا فِي لَذَّاتِكُمْ.

4أَيُّهَا الزُّنَاةُ وَالزَّوَانِي، أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ الْعَالَمِ عَدَاوَةٌ لِلهِ؟ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُحِبّاً لِلْعَالَمِ فَقَدْ صَارَ عَدُوّاً لِلهِ.5أَمْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ الْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ بَاطِلاً: الرُّوحُ الَّذِي حَلَّ فِينَا يَشْتَاقُ إِلَى الْحَسَدِ،6وَلَكِنَّهُ يُعْطِي نِعْمَةً أَعْظَمَ، لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: "يُقَاوِمُ اللهُ المُسْتَكْبِرِينَ وَأَمَّا المُتَوَاضِعُونَ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ نِعْمَةً".7فَاخْضَعُوا لِلهِ، قَاوِمُوا إِبْلِيسَ فَيَهْرُبَ مِنْكُمْ،8اِقْتَرِبُوا إِلَى اللهِ فَيَقْتَرِبَ إِلَيْكُمْ، نَقُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الْخُطَاةُ، وَطَهِّرُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، يَا ذَوِي الرَّأْيَيْنِ.9اكْتَئِبُوا وَنُوحُوا وَابْكُوا، لِيَتَحَوَّلْ ضِحْكُكُمْ إِلَى نَوْحٍ وَفَرَحُكُمْ إِلَى غَمٍّ.10اتَّضِعُوا قُدَّامَ الرَّبِّ فَيَرْفَعَكُمْ.

11لاَ يَذُمَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ. الَّذِي يَذُمُّ أَخَاهُ وَيَدِينُ أَخَاهُ يَذُمُّ النَّامُوسَ وَيَدِينُ النَّامُوسَ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَدِينُ النَّامُوسَ فَلَسْتَ عَامِلاً بِالنَّامُوسِ بَلْ دَيَّاناً لَهُ.12وَاحِدٌ هُوَ وَاضِعُ النَّامُوسِ، الْقَادِرُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ وَيُهْلِكَ، فَمَنْ أَنْتَ، يَا مَنْ تَدِينُ غَيْرَكَ؟

الإعتماد على مشيئة الربّ

13هَلُمَّ الآنَ، أَيُّهَا الْقَائِلُونَ: نَذْهَبُ الْيَوْمَ أَوْ غَداً إِلَى هَذِهِ المَدِينَةِ أَوْ تِلْكَ وَهُنَاكَ نَصْرِفُ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً وَنَتَّجِرُ وَنَرْبَحُ،14أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ لاَ تَعْرِفُونَ أَمْرَ الْغَدِ، لأَنَّهُ مَا هِيَ حَيَاتُكُمْ؟ إِنَّهَا بُخَارٌ، يَظْهَرُ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ يَضْمَحِلُّ،15عِوَضَ أَنْ تَقُولُوا: إِنْ شَاءَ الرَّبُّ وَعِشْنَا، نَفْعَلُ هَذَا أَوْ ذَاكَ.16وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَفْتَخِرُونَ فِي تَعَظُّمِكُمْ، كُلُّ افْتِخَارٍ مِثْلُ هَذَا رَدِيءٌ.17فَمَنْ يَعْرِفُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ حَسَناً وَلاَ يَعْمَلُ، فَذَلِكَ خَطِيَّةٌ لَهُ.
