^4 (A)You adulterous people!^[a] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? ^(B)Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit ^(C)that he has made to dwell in us”? ⁶ But ^(D)he gives more grace. Therefore it says, ^(E)“God opposes the proud but ^(F)gives grace to the humble.” ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. ^(G)Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ^8 (H)Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. ^(I)Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and ^(J)purify your hearts, ^(K)you double-minded. ^9 (L)Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. ^10 (M)Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
