James 4:6 in Context — James 4

4 Adúlteros y adúlteras, ¿no sabéis que la amistad del mundo es enemistad con Dios? Cualquiera pues que quisiere ser amigo del mundo, se constituye enemigo de Dios.

5 ¿Pensáis que la Escritura dice sin causa: El espíritu que mora en nosotros codicia para envidia?

6 Mas él da mayor gracia. Por esto dice: Dios resiste á los soberbios, y da gracia á los humildes.

7 Someteos pues á Dios; resistid al diablo, y de vosotros huirá.

8 Allegaos á Dios, y él se allegará á vosotros. Pecadores, limpiad las manos; y vosotros de doblado ánimo, purificad los corazones.
