Charles Spurgeon Commentary James 4:8

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded." — James 4:8 (ASV)

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

For, if you are double-minded, your hands and your hearts must both need to be cleansed. The apostle does not say, "Concentrate your thoughts," but he does say, Cleanse your hearts; for, to have two objects in life, is a kind of spiritual adultery, from which we need to be purged, so the command is, Purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
