James 4

James attributes quarrels and fights among believers to internal passions and lusts, urging them to ask God rightly rather than with selfish motives, to submit to God, resist the devil, draw near to Him, and humble themselves, as God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble[1][2][3]. He warns against worldliness likened to spiritual adultery, boasts of arrogant plans ignoring life's brevity like a vapor, and stresses saying 'If the Lord wills' while noting that knowing good and not doing it is sin[1][3].
