Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
But he gives more grace.
Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Be subject therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners.
Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Lament, mourn, and weep.
Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
