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.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Or do you think it’s without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously?[a](A)
6 But He gives greater grace. Therefore He says:
7 Therefore, submit to God. But resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.(C) 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!(D) 9 Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.(E) 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
