Help with a quote (bible)

[john313]

Peace,
I recently read a quote that was basically:
"He who makes himself a friend to the world makes himself an enemy to God."
the author took it from something religious/historical. i cannot remember where in the book i read it and the book is about 900 pages long. does anyone know where it may have originated? i forgot to write it down while i was reading.

Well, I guess it was taken fom the Bible........
James4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
