James 4:6-9

Goodspeed(i) 6 But he gives all the greater blessing. As the Scripture says, "God opposes haughty persons, but he blesses humble-minded ones." 7 Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will fly from you. 8 Approach God, and he will approach you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Make your hearts pure, you doubters! 9 Be miserable, grieve, and weep aloud! Turn your laughter into grief and your happiness into gloom.
