James 4:7-11
71SubmitG5293 thereforeG3767 to GodG2316. But 23resistG436 the devilG1228, and he will fleeG5343 from you. 84ComeG1448 closeG1448 to GodG2316 and He will comeG1448 closeG1448 to you. 5CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, you sinnersG268; and 6purifyG48 your heartsG2588, you 78double-mindedG1374. 99Be miserableG5003, and mournG3996, and weepG2799; let your laughterG1071 be turnedG3346 into mourningG3997, and your joyG5479 into gloomG2726. 1010HumbleG5013 yourselves inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 the LordG2962, and He will exaltG5312 you.
1111Do not speakG2635 againstG2635 oneG240 anotherG240, 12brothersG80 and sisters. The one who speaksG2635 againstG2635 a brotherG80 or sister, orG2228 13judgesG2919 his brotherG80 or sister, speaksG2635 againstG2635 14the lawG3551 and judgesG2919 the lawG3551; but ifG1487 you judgeG2919 the lawG3551, you are not 15a doerG4163 of the lawG3551 but a judgeG2923 of it.
