James 4:6 in Context — James 4
4 Adultères que vous êtes! Ne savez-vous pas que l’amour du monde est inimitié contre Dieu? Celui donc qui veut être ami du monde se rend ennemi de Dieu.
5 Croyez-vous que l’Écriture parle en vain? C’est avec jalousie que Dieu chérit l’esprit qu’il a fait habiter en nous.
6 Il accorde, au contraire, une grâce plus excellente; c’est pourquoi l’Écriture dit: Dieu résiste aux orgueilleux, Mais il fait grâce aux humbles.
7 Soumettez-vous donc à Dieu; résistez au diable, et il fuira loin de vous.
8 Approchez-vous de Dieu, et il s’approchera de vous. Nettoyez vos mains, pécheurs; purifiez vos cœurs, hommes irrésolus.
