James 4:6-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. God continues to give us more grace. That's why Scripture says, "God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are not." (Proverbs 3:34)

7. So obey God. Stand up to the devil. He will run away from you.

8. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Make your hearts pure, you who can't make up your minds.
