4:1 From where are conflicts James asks about the origin of the disputes taking place in the church. among your members Refers to conflicts among church members. melesin: MEMBER Vines melos (μέλος, 3196), “a limb of the body,” is used (a) literally, Matt. 5:29–30; Rom. 6:13 (twice), 19 (twice); 7:5, 23 (twice); 12:4 (twice); 1 Cor. 12:12 (twice), 14, 18–20, 22, 25–26 (twice); Jas. 3:5, 6; 4:1; in Col. 3:5, “mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth”; since our bodies and their “members” belong to the earth, and are the instruments of sin, they are referred to as such (cf. Matt. 5:29–30; Rom. 7:5, 23, mentioned above); the putting to death is not physical, but ethical; as the physical “members” have distinct individualities, so those evils, of which the physical “members” are agents, are by analogy regarded as examples of the way in which the “members” work if not put to death; this is not precisely the same as “the old man,” v. 9, i.e., the old nature, though there is a connection; (b) metaphorically, “of believers as members of Christ,” 1 Cor. 6:15 (1st part); of one another, Rom. 12:5 (as with the natural illustration, so with the spiritual analogy, there is not only vital unity, and harmony in operation, but diversity, all being essential to effectivity; the unity is not due to external organization but to common and vital union in Christ); there is stress in v. 5 upon “many” and “in Christ” and “members;” 1 Cor. 12:27 (of the “members” of a local church as a body); Eph. 4:25 (of the “members” of the whole Church as the mystical body of Christ); in 1 Cor. 6:15 (2nd part), of one who practices fornication.¶[1]
Treasury - James 4:1 (King James Version)
whence
Jas 3:14-18 — But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
fightings
Jas 1:14 — But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Ge 4:5-8 — But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Jer 17:9 — The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Mt 15:19 — For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mk 7:21-23 — For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Jn 8:44 — Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Ro 8:7 — Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
1Ti 6:4-10 — He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Tit 3:3 — For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
1Pe 1:14 — As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1Pe 2:11 — Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Pe 4:2 — That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1Pe 4:3 — For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
2Pe 2:18 — For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
2Pe 3:3 — Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
1Jn 2:15-17 — Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Jude 1:16-18 — These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
lusts
Jas 4:3 — Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
in
Ro 7:5 — For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Ro 7:23 — But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Gal 5:17 — For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Col 3:5 — Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

4:4 Greek You adulteresses!
4:4 Adulterous people A figure of speech designating the unfaithfulness of God’s people (e.g., Jer 3:7–10; Matt 12:39). Unfaithful=moichalides Vines: ADULTERER (-ESS), ADULTEROUS, ADULTERY
A. Nouns.
1. moichos (μοιχός, 3432) denotes one “who has unlawful intercourse with the spouse of another,” Luke 18:11; 1 Cor. 6:9; Heb. 13:4. As to Jas. 4:4, see below.¶
2. moichalis (μοιχαλίς, 3428), “an adulteress,” is used (a) in the natural sense, 2 Pet. 2:14; Rom. 7:3; (b) in the spiritual sense, Jas. 4:4; here the RV rightly omits the word “adulterers.” It was added by a copyist. As in Israel the breach of their relationship with God through their idolatry, was described as “adultery” or “harlotry” (e.g., Ezek. 16:15, etc.; 23:43), so believers who cultivate friendship with the world, thus breaking their spiritual union with Christ, are spiritual “adulteresses,” having been spiritually united to Him as wife to husband, Rom. 7:4. It is used adjectivally to describe the Jewish people in transferring their affections from God, Matt. 12:39; 16:4; Mark 8:38. In 2 Pet. 2:14, the lit. translation is “full of an adulteress” (RV, marg.).¶
3. moicheia (μοιχεία, 3430), “adultery,” is found in Matt. 15:19; Mark 7:21; John 8:3 (KJV only).¶[3]

4:5 spirit which he caused This statement is not found in the OT, suggesting that James could be summarizing several OT passages (compare Matt 2:23; John 7:38; Eph 5:14).
ENVY, ENVYING=pthonon Vines A. Noun. phthonos (φθόνος, 5355), “envy,” is the feeling of displeasure produced by witnessing or hearing of the advantage or prosperity of others; this evil sense always attaches to this word, Matt. 27:18; Mark 15:10; Rom. 1:29; Gal. 5:21; Phil. 1:15; 1 Tim. 6:4; Titus 3:3; 1 Pet. 2:1; so in Jas. 4:5, where the question is rhetorical and strongly remonstrative, signifying that the Spirit (or spirit) which God made to dwell in us was certainly not so bestowed that we should be guilty of “envy.”¶ Note: Zelos, “zeal or jealousy,” translated “envy” in the KJV, in Acts 13:45; Rom. 13:13; 1 Cor. 3:3; 2 Cor. 12:20; Jas. 3:14, 16, is to be distinguished from phthonos, and, apart from the meanings “zeal” and “indignation,” is always translated “jealousy” in the RV. The distinction lies in this, that “envy” desires to deprive another of what he has, “jealousy” desires to have the same or the same sort of thing for itself See FERVENT, INDIGNATION, JEALOUSY, ZEAL. B. Verbs. 1. phthoneo (φθονέω, 5354), “to envy” (akin to A.), is used in Gal. 5:26.¶ 2. zeloo (ζηλόω, 2206) denotes “to be zealous, moved with jealousy,” Acts 7:9 and 17:5, RV, “moved with jealousy” (KJV, “moved with envy”); both have “envieth” in 1 Cor. 13:4. See the Note under A. See AFFECT, COVET, DESIRE, JEALOUS, ZEALOUS.[4] Treasury - James 4:5

4:8 Draw near to God Because the church was fractured and needed healing, James calls the community to collectively approach God. Cleanse your hands The Greek term used here, cheir, figuratively represents a person’s deeds (compare Psa 24:4; Isa 1:15–16). The command to cleanse them indicates that they were defiled with sin and required purification (2 Cor 7:1). double-minded See note on James 1:8. CLEAN, CLEANNESS, CLEANSE, CLEANSING = katharisate A. Adjective.
katharos (καθαρός, 2513), “free from impure admixture, without blemish, spotless,” is used (a) physically, e.g., Matt. 23:26; 27:59; John 13:10 (where the Lord, speaking figuratively, teaches that one who has been entirely “cleansed,” needs not radical renewal, but only to be “cleansed” from every sin into which he may fall); 15:3; Heb. 10:22; Rev. 15:6; 19:8, 14; 21:18, 21; (b) in a Levitical sense, Rom. 14:20; Titus 1:15, “pure”; (c) ethically, with the significance free from corrupt desire, from guilt, Matt. 5:8; John 13:10–11; Acts 20:26; 1 Tim. 1:5; 3:9; 2 Tim. 1:3; 2:22; Titus 1:15; Jas. 1:27; blameless, innocent (a rare meaning for this word), Acts 18:6; (d) in a combined Levitical and ethical sense ceremonially, Luke 11:41, “all things are clean unto you.” See CLEAR, C, Note (2), PURE.¶
B. Verbs.
1. katharizo (καθαρίζω, 2511), akin to A, signifies (1) “to make clean, to cleanse” (a) from physical stains and dirt, as in the case of utensils, Matt. 23:25 (figuratively in verse 26); from disease, as of leprosy, Matt. 8:2; (b) in a moral sense, from the defilement of sin, Acts 15:9; 2 Cor. 7:1; Heb. 9:14; Jas. 4:8, “cleanse” from the guilt of sin, Eph. 5:26; 1 John 1:7; (2) “to pronounce clean in a Levitical sense,” Mark 7:19, RV; Acts 10:15; 11:9; “to consecrate by cleansings,” Heb. 9:22, 23; 10:2. See PURGE, PURIFY.
2. diakatharizo (διακαθαρίζω, 1245), “to cleanse thoroughly,” is used in Matt. 3:12, RV.¶

Why do you think James brings up these questions and statements? Because he is using the classic technique of a traditional teaching method similar to Catechism where you ask the question to get a teachable moment to come In James 4:6, it says “ ….God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” How does pride, our own personal pride, affect our relationship with God? We are harmed, God opposes the proud How do we become humble? By Lamenting, Mourning, and Weeping Look for answers in Jam 4.
Now go back and read Jam 1:2-4, why should we consider trials as joy? count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience Now move into Jam 1:5-7. How must we ask God for wisdom? 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. What should we expect if we don’t? 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways . Move down to Jam 1:8-10, what contrast does James make but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11
and what is a characteristic of one that is humble?one that is humble is a lowly brother who will glory in his exaltation
Looking forward to Tuesday night…..make your notes and come with your questions…..
Praying for our obedience in Jesus. Grace to you!
