James 4:5-8

5Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.

6And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

7So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
