4 1Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that afriendship with the world is enmity with God? bWhoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, a“The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
a“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
a“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Humility Cures Worldliness
7 Therefore submit to God. aResist the devil and he will flee from you.
8 aDraw near to God and He will draw near to you. bCleanse your hands, you sinners; and cpurify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 aLament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 aHumble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Do Not Judge a Brother
11 aDo not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother band judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
