James 4:8-10

⁸ Come near to God and he will come near to you. You are sinners, so clean sin out of your lives.^[a] You are trying to follow God and the world at the same time. Make your thinking pure. ⁹ Be sad, be sorry, and cry! Change your laughter into crying. Change your joy into sadness. ¹⁰ Be humble before the Lord, and he will make you great.
