James 4:5-7
Modern English Version

5 Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “He yearns jealously for the spirit that lives in us”[a]? 6 But He gives more grace. For this reason it says:

“God resists the proud,
    but gives grace to the humble.”[b]

7 Therefore submit yourselves 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.
