James 4:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵Do you doubt the Scriptures that say, “God truly cares about the Spirit he has put in us”?^[a] ⁶^(A) In fact, God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say,

“God opposes everyone
who is proud,
but he blesses all who are humble
with undeserved grace.”

⁷Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you.
