James 4:5-8
5OrG2228 do you thinkG1380 that the ScriptureG1124 1speaksG3004 to noG2761 purposeG2761: “2He 3jealouslyG5355 desiresG1971 4the SpiritG4151 whichG3739 He has madeG2733 to dwellG2733 in us”?
6But 5He givesG1325 a greaterG3173 graceG5485. ThereforeG1352 it saysG3004, “6GodG2316 is opposedG498 to the proudG5244, but givesG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.”
77SubmitG5293 thereforeG3767 to GodG2316. 8ResistG436 the devilG1228 and he will fleeG5343 from you.
89DrawG1448 nearG1448 to GodG2316 and He will drawG1448 nearG1448 to you. 10CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, you sinnersG268; and 11purifyG48 your heartsG2588, you 12double-mindedG1374.
