And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say,

“God opposes the proud
    but gives grace to the humble.”[a]

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you.

Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.
