6. In fact, God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say,“God opposes everyonewho is proud,but he is kind to everyonewho is humble.”
7. Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you.
8. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you people who can't make up your mind.
9. Be sad and sorry and weep. Stop laughing and start crying. Be gloomy instead of glad.
10. Be humble in the Lord's presence, and he will honour you.
11. My friends, don't say cruel things about others! If you do, or if you condemn others, you are condemning God's Law. And if you condemn the Law, you put yourself above the Law and refuse to obey either it
12. or God who gave it. God is our judge, and he can save or destroy us. What right do you have to condemn anyone?
13. You should know better than to say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to the city. We will do business there for a year and make a lot of money!”
14. What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears.
