James 4:4-10

You people promised God you would be true to him, but you did not stay true! Do you not know that if you love the world you hate God? Anyone who wants to be a lover of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

The holy writings say, `God gave his Spirit to live in us. And that Spirit wants us for himself.' Do you think this means nothing?

But God helps you even more than that. That is why the holy writings say, `God fights against those who are proud, but he helps those who are not proud.'

So let God control you. Fight the devil and he will run away from you.

Come to God and he will come to you. You bad people, make your hands clean! You love what is good and what is wrong at the same time. Make your hearts clean.

Be sad about this, and cry. Turn your laughing into crying. Stop being happy. Be sad.

10 Do not be proud before the Lord. Then he will lift you up.
