James 4:5

Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?

Or do you think it’s without reason that the Scripture says: The spirit he made to dwell in us envies intensely?

Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”?

Or do you think that the Scripture says to no purpose, “He jealously desires the Spirit whom He has made to dwell in us”?

Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?

Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
