James 4:7-9

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

⁷ Therefore, submit to God, but resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw-near to God and He will draw-near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded ones. ⁹ Be miserable^[a] and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection^[b].
