James 4:5-12

5Or do you think that the Scripture 1says to no purpose, “2He 3jealously desires 4the Spirit whom He has made to dwell in us”? 6But 5He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “6God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 77Submit therefore to God. But 89resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 810Come close to God and He will come close to you. 11Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and 12purify your hearts, you 1314double-minded. 915Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. 1016Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

1117Do not speak against one another, 18brothers and sisters. The one who speaks against a brother or sister, or 19judges his brother or sister, speaks against 20the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not 21a doer of the law but a judge of it. 12There is only one 22Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is 23able to save and to destroy; but 24who are you, 25judging your neighbor?
