5Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?
6But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.
7For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.
8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.
9Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.
10Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.
11Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.
