20. James 4:8 Nearness
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. [kjv]
εγγισατε τω θεω και εγγισει υμιν καθαρισατε χειρας αμαρτωλοι και αγνισατε καρδιας διψυχοι [gnt]
Is the burden on God to "
draw near" to us or for us to "
draw near" to Him?
Does it create a logical issue to have both "
draw" towards each other as James states?
Saying:
If you feel far from God, guess who moved?
Discuss: Can one move away from God?
21. James 4:8 Double-minded
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. [kjv]
εγγισατε τω θεω και εγγισει υμιν καθαρισατε χειρας αμαρτωλοι και αγνισατε καρδιας διψυχοι [gnt]
The word translated "
double-minded" is used twice in James and is not a common word.
- What might "double-minded" mean?
- Does "double-minded" always mean that the "heart" needs purified?
Can someone look at the same thing in more than one way? Does that make them "
double-minded"?

29. James 4:11
James 4:11 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. [kjv]
μη καταλαλειτε αλληλων αδελφοι ο καταλαλων αδελφου η κρινων τον αδελφον αυτου καταλαλει νομου και κρινει νομον ει δε νομον κρινεις ουκ ει ποιητης νομου αλλα κριτης [gnt]
Jesus did not speak well of the parts of the law that had been added by the religious establishment.
- What part of the law was given by God?
- What part of the law was added by man?
The Greek word "
judge" means to "
divide" or "
separate". How did Jesus "
judge" or "
divide" or "
separate" between God's law and mans added parts to the law?
Discuss: When Jesus healed on the Sabbath, he was in violation of the law. Why did Jesus do this in violation of the law?
30. James 4:11
KJV: 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.
Greek: μη καταλαλειτε αλληλων αδελφοι ο καταλαλων αδελφου και η κρινων τον αδελφον αυτου καταλαλει νομου και κρινει νομον ει δε νομον κρινεις ουκ ει ποιητης νομου αλλα κριτης
31. James 4:12
James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? [kjv]
εις εστιν νομοθετης και κριτης ο δυναμενος σωσαι και απολεσαι συ δε τις ει ο κρινων τον πλησιον [gnt]
The Greek word "
judge" means to "
divide" or "
separate".
- One is to "divide" or "separate" what is true and what is not true according to God's laws.
- One is not to take action against others.
- One may need to avoid others in certain ways who do not follow God's laws.
32. James 4:12
KJV: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Greek: εις εστιν ο νομοθετης και κριτης ο δυναμενος σωσαι και απολεσαι συ δε τις ει ος κρινεις ο κρινων τον ετερον πλησιον
33. James 4:13-15
James 4:13 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: [kjv]
αγε νυν οι λεγοντες σημερον η αυριον πορευσομεθα εις τηνδε την πολιν και ποιησομεν εκει ενιαυτον και εμπορευσομεθα και κερδησομεν [gnt]
4:14 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. [kjv]
οιτινες ουκ επιστασθε το της αυριον ποια η ζωη υμων ατμις γαρ εστε προς ολιγον φαινομενη επειτα και αφανιζομενη [gnt]
4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. [kjv]
αντι του λεγειν υμας εαν ο κυριος θελη και ζησομεν και ποιησομεν τουτο η εκεινο [gnt]
34. James 4:13
KJV: 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:
Greek: αγε νυν οι λεγοντες σημερον και η αυριον πορευσωμεθα πορευσομεθα εις τηνδε την πολιν και ποιησωμεν ποιησομεν εκει ενιαυτον ενα και εμπορευσωμεθα εμπορευσομεθα και κερδησωμεν κερδησομεν
35. James 4:14
KJV: 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.
Greek: οιτινες ουκ επιστασθε το της αυριον ποια γαρ η ζωη υμων ατμις γαρ εστιν η εστε προς ολιγον φαινομενη επειτα δε και αφανιζομενη
36. James 4:15

νυν δε καυχασθε εν ταις αλαζονειαις υμων πασα καυχησις τοιαυτη πονηρα εστιν [gnt]
The word for "
rejoice" is the Greek word for "
boast".
The word for "
boastings" is the Greek word that might be though of as being a "
know it all".
38. James 4:16
KJV: But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Greek: νυν δε καυχασθε εν ταις αλαζονειαις υμων πασα καυχησις τοιαυτη πονηρα εστιν
39. James 4:17
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. [kjv]
ειδοτι ουν καλον ποιειν και μη ποιουντι αμαρτια αυτω εστιν [gnt]
Is ignorance of the law a valid excuse?
Is it only a sin to that person? In Matthew 18, Jesus describes a conflict resolution protocol for "
sins" that need not be against anyone in particular.
Idle silences can be considered in the same way as what James describes.
40. Anglican Church: Confession of sin
Being silent is an option taken by many. The Anglican Church has a Confession of Sin that starts as follows.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
Are we responsible for what we did not do? How about what we could have done?
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence. Benjamin Franklin (American scientist, inventor, philosopher, statesman)
41. James 4:17
KJV: Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Greek: ειδοτι ουν καλον ποιειν και μη ποιουντι αμαρτια αυτω εστιν

οτι εγγιζει ο δικαιωσας με τις ο κρινομενος μοι αντιστητω μοι αμα και τις ο κρινομενος μοι εγγισατω μοι [lxx]
for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him stand up against me at the same time: yes, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw near to me. [bs3]
James 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. [kjv]

6:25 Woe unto you that are full ! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now ! for ye shall mourn and weep. [kjv]
