James 4:5-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Or do you suppose that the scripture speaks without meaning when it says, “The spirit that he has made to dwell in us tends toward jealousy”?

6. But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says:“God resists the proud,but gives grace to the humble.”

7. So submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you of two minds.
