If you visit Biblegateway.com you will find Scriptures recorded in other versions not just the King James Version of the Bible.
I only record things in the KJV on this site because the King James Version of the Bible is public domain.
It is my understanding that I can record the way James 4 starts out in the New International Version and place a link on here where you can read the rest of it at Biblegateway.com.
Submit Yourselves to God – James 4:1-10,
”1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? 6But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
”God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. ”

It is so nice to be able to read passages in the New International Version. It’s modern day language makes understanding so much easier.
I remember when I first tried to read the Bible from the front to the back when I was quite young. I was upset because the KJV was very difficult for me to comprehend when I was young. Simply said it did not make sense to me all the time.
I feel I’ve drawn closer to the Lord by being exposed to translations that made the Word of God clearer.
