James 4:7-12
Drawing Near to God
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
7:
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
8:
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
9:
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
10:
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
11:
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
12:
