James 4:7 CPDV

⁵  Or do you think that Scripture says in vain: 'The spirit which lives within you desires unto envy?'

⁶  But he gives a greater grace. Therefore he says: 'God resists the arrogant, but he gives grace to the humble.'

⁷  Therefore, be subject to God. But 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 duplicitous souls!

⁹  Be afflicted: mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your gladness into sorrow.
