야고보서 4장 8-10절

 하나님께로 가까이 가십시오. 그리하면 하나님께서 가까이 오실 것입니다. 죄인들이여, 손을 깨끗이 하십시오. 두 마음을 품은 사람들이여, 마음을 순결하게 하십시오. 여러분은 괴로워하십시오. 슬퍼하십시오. 우십시오. 여러분의 웃음을 슬픔으로 바꾸십시오. 기쁨을 근심으로 바꾸십시오. 주님 앞에서 자신을 낮추십시오. 그리하면 주님께서 여러분을 높여주실 것입니다. _새번역성경 

 神に 近づきなさい。そうすれば、神はあなたがたに 近づいて 下さるであろう。罪人どもよ、手をきよめよ。二心の 者どもよ、心を 淸くせよ。苦しめ、悲しめ、泣け。あなたがたの 笑いを 悲しみに、喜びを 憂いに 変えよ。主のみまえにへりくだれ。そうすれば、主は、あなたがたを 高くして 下さるであろう。_口語訳

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. _ NASB 

Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet._The Message
