James 4:5-7
Darby Translation

5 Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?

6 But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly.

7 Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:5-7
New International Version

5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[a]?(A) 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”[b](B)

7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil,(C) and he will flee from you.
