James 4:7 in Context — James 4

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.

9 Afligíos, y lamentad, y llorad. Vuestra risa se convierta en lloro, y vuestro gozo en tristeza.
