James 4:5

English Standard Version

5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? (1Co 6:19; 2Co 6:16)

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[1]?

New International Reader’s Version

5 Don’t you know what Scripture says? God wants the spirit in us to belong only to him. God caused this spirit to live in us. Don’t you think Scripture has a reason for saying this?

King James Version

5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
