James 4:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ You people are not faithful to God! You should know that loving what the world has is the same as hating God. So anyone who wants to be friends with this evil world becomes God’s enemy. ⁵ Do you think the Scriptures mean nothing? The Scriptures say, “The Spirit God made to live in us wants us only for himself.”^{[a] 6} But the kindness God shows is greater. As the Scripture says, “God is against the proud, but he is kind to the humble.”^[b]
