James 4:5-6 Or, do you think that the Scripture says this for nothing? Note: No specific passage is here cited, but the idea occurs in several Old Testament passages. “The Holy Spirit, whom God has made to live in us, longs jealously for us to be faithful to God.”

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Or, do you think that the Scripture says [this] for nothing? [Note: No specific passage is here cited, but the idea occurs in several Old Testament passages]. “The Holy Spirit, whom God has made to live in us, longs jealously [for us to be faithful to God].” ⁶ But He gives [us] more unearned favor [i.e., to overcome the world]. Therefore, the Scripture says [Prov. 3:34], “God opposes proud people, but gives unearned favor to those who are humble.”
