James 4:7 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Epistle of James. The verse reads: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." This passage is part of a broader discussion on the dangers of worldliness and the importance of humility and submission to God. The phrase "Submit yourselves therefore to God" (Hebrew: "תכפפו לכן לאלוהים", transliterated as "Tikfafu laken le'Elohim") emphasizes the importance of yielding to God's will, while "Resist the devil" (Hebrew: "התנגדו לשטן", transliterated as "Hitnagdu la'Satan") encourages believers to stand firm against temptation. In Spanish, the verse is translated as "Someteos, pues, a Dios; resistid al diablo, y huirá de vosotros." In German, it is "So unterwerfet euch nun Gott; widerstehet dem Teufel, so flieht er von euch." The context of this verse is a call to spiritual discipline and a reminder that resistance to evil is possible through divine strength.
