James 4:7

⁵Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?

⁶But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

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

⁸Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

⁹Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
