James 4:5-6
New King James Version
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, (A)“The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
(B)“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:5-6
English Standard Version
5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit (A)that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But (B)he gives more grace. Therefore it says, (C)“God opposes the proud but (D)gives grace to the humble.”

James 4:5-6
New Living Translation
5 Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.[a] 6 And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say,
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”[b]
