James 4:5-7
Living Bible

5 Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? 6 But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty.

7 So give yourselves humbly 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.
