James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.… A gentleman, who has spent many years of his life in capturing wild animals, says of the wolf, that, when attacked, he will first note the earnestness with which the enemy presses the attack, and, if he shows great determination, he scampers away. But if he detects the least fear in his pursuer's movements, he will defend himself with great bravery. The same way with old Satan: he tempts us by first placing some trivial thing in our path; and if we offer no resistance, he suddenly attacks us with all his force, and overcomes us. Parallel Verses KJV: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.WEB: Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
