nature, for he is a liar and the father of it. And
          because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.

          6 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
          transforming  themselves  into  the  apostles  of
          Christ.  And  no  marvel,  for  Satan  himself,  is

          transformed into an angel of light. Therefore,
          it  is  no  great  thing  if  his  ministers  also  be
          transformed as the ministers of righteousness,
          whose end shall be according to their works.  7
          Whoever, then, will be a friend of the world is
          the enemy of God.

          Do you think that the scripture says in vain: The

          spirit  that  dwells  in us  lusts to envy? Yet  God
          gives  more  grace.  Therefore,  he  says  God
          resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
          So submit yourselves, to God; resist the devil,
          and he will flee from you. Draw close to God,
          and  he  will  draw  close  to  you.  Cleanse  your
          hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you
          double-minded.  Be  afflicted,  and  mourn,  and
          weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning,

          and  your  joy  to heaviness.  Humble  yourselves
          in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up. 8
          And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under
                              149
