James 4:8

Subject Yourselves To God

⁷ Be subjected therefore to God. Resist the accuser, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse the hands, ye sinful; and purify the hearts, ye double souled. ⁹ Toil, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and joy to dejection.
