James 4:8 in Context — James 4
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.
9 Sentez votre misère; soyez dans le deuil et dans les larmes; que votre rire se change en deuil, et votre joie en tristesse.
10 Humiliez-vous devant le Seigneur, et il vous élèvera.
