6. But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As the scripture says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7. So then, submit to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you.
8. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!
9. Be sorrowful, cry, and weep; change your laughter into crying, your joy into gloom!
10. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
