James 4:5-10
Legacy Standard Bible

5 Or do you think that the Scripture (A)speaks to no purpose: “[a]He [b]jealously desires (B)the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”? 6 But (C)He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “(D)God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 (E)Be subject therefore to God. (F)Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 (G)Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (H)Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and (I)purify your hearts, you (J)double-minded. 9 (K)Be miserable and mourn and cry. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 (L)Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
