G2532–καί–kai

You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another.

καὶ kai “and”

You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God.

καὶ kai “and”

Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.

καὶ kai “and”

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Afflict yourselves and mourn and weep aloud; let your laughter be turned into grief, and your gladness into shame.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

καὶ kai “and”

Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.

καὶ kai “and”

The only real Lawgiver and Judge is He who is able to save or to destroy. Who are you to sit in judgement on your fellow man?

Come, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to this or that city, and spend a year there and carry on a successful business,"

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more.

καὶ kai “also”

Instead of that you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we shall live and do this or that."

If, however, a man knows what it is right to do and yet does not do it, he commits a sin.

καὶ kai “and”

Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;

καὶ kai “and”

your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops--pay which you are keeping back--is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.

καὶ kai “and”

Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.

καὶ kai “and”

Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.

καὶ kai “and”

So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.

καὶ kai “also”

In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord.

καὶ kai “and”

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your `yes' be simply `yes,' and your `no' be simply `no;' that you may not come under condemnation.

καὶ kai “and”

Is any one ill? Let him send for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

καὶ kai “and”

And the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.
