James 4:8-10

Context
4:8 Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you double-minded. 1  4:9 Grieve, mourn, 2  and weep. Turn your laughter 3  into mourning and your joy into despair. 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

1 tn Or “two-minded” (the same description used in 1:8).

2 tn This term and the following one are preceded by καί (kai) in the Greek text, but contemporary English generally uses connectives only between the last two items in such a series.

3 tn Grk “let your laughter be turned.”
