5 Or do you think that the Scripture (A)speaks to no purpose: “[a]He [b]jealously desires (B)the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”? 6 But (C)He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “(D)God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 (E)Be subject therefore to God. (F)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.
