James 4:5-10

5 Don't think that there is no truth in the scripture that says, "The spirit that God placed in us is filled with fierce desires."

5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us ?

6 But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As the scripture says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

7 So then, submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you.

7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!

8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 Be sorrowful, cry, and weep; change your laughter into crying, your joy into gloom!

9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.

10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
