James 4:7
_ _ Submit to ... God — so ye shall be among “the humble,” James 4:6; also James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6.
_ _ Resist ... devil — Under his banner pride and envy are enlisted in the world; resist his temptations to these. Faith, humble prayers, and heavenly wisdom, are the weapons of resistance. The language is taken from warfare. “Submit” as a good soldier puts himself in complete subjection to his captain. “Resist,” stand bravely against.
_ _ he will flee — Translate, “he shall flee.” For it is a promise of God, not a mere assurance from man to man [Alford]. He shall flee worsted as he did from Christ. |
James 4:7
Therefore by humbly submitting yourselves to God, resist the devil — The father of pride and envy. |
James 4:7
(5) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

In short, we must endeavour to come near to God by purity and sincerity of life. |
