After St James' Epistle

1.You call it peace-keeping. We only know our land is not here!

We have been pushed up here by our misery, our poorness!

We are not looking for glory, we don’t believe in patriotism, we don’t cry looking at the three colours! 

2.Today our parents are crying.

But what causes wars, and what causes fightings among you? 

Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

3.You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask. 

 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 

4. Unfaithful people! Don’t you know that loving the world is hating your God?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. 

5: Or do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us"? 

6: But he gives more grace; therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 

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

8: Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you men of double mind. 

9: Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. 

10: Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you
