New Testament

James 4:8-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

8. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

10. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

11. Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.
