Mistari Maarufu ya Biblia kutoka James 4

Shirikisha

Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

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

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

But he gives greater grace. Therefore he says: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.  

So it is sin to know the good and yet not do it.

You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

You adulterous people!  Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the friend of the world becomes the enemy of God.

Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring #— #what your life will be! For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes.
