Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Submit yourselves therefore to God - so ye shall be among "the humble" (James 4:6; also James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6).
Resist the devil. Under his banner pride and envy are enlisted: "resist" (stand against) these his temptations. Faith, prayers, and heavenly wisdom are the weapons of resistance. "Submit," as a good soldier puts himself in subjection to his captain.
He will flee - a promise of God: he shall flee worsted, as he did from Christ.
