What’s more, God gives grace liberally. As the Scriptures state, “God restricts the proud, however, offers grace to the humble.” So modest yourselves before God. Oppose the villain, and he will escape from you. Approach God, and God will reach you. Wash your hands, you miscreants; clean your hearts, for your faithfulness, is divided between God and the world. James 4: 6-8 [self-paraphrased]
