You do not have° because° you do not ask°. 3 You ask° and ado not receive°, because° you ask° Iwith wrong° motives°, so° that you may spend° [it] IIon your pleasures°. 4 You aadulteresses°, do you not know° that friendship° with bthe world° is chostility° toward God°? dTherefore° whoever°° wishes° to be a friend° of the world° makes° himself an enemy° of God°. 5 Or° do you think° that the Scripture° aspeaks° to no° purpose°: “IHe IIjealously° desires° bthe Spirit° which° He has made° to dwell° in us”? 6 But aHe gives° a greater° grace°. Therefore° [it] says°, “bGOD° IS OPPOSED° TO THE PROUD°, BUT GIVES° GRACE° TO THE HUMBLE°.” 7 aSubmit° therefore° to God°. bResist° the devil° and he will flee° from you. 8 aDraw° near° to God° and He will draw° near° to you. bCleanse° your hands°, you sinners°; and cpurify° your hearts°, you ddouble-minded°. 9 aBe miserable° and mourn° and weep°; let your laughter° be turned° into mourning° and your joy° to gloom°. 10 aHumble° yourselves in the presence° of the Lord°, and He will exalt° you.
