James 4:5 Context
3Ye aske and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that yee may consume it vpon your lusts. 4Ye adulterers, and adulteresses, know yee not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, is the enemy of God. 5Doe ye thinke that the Scripture saith in vaine, the spirit that dwelleth in vs lusteth to enuy? 6But he giueth more grace, wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proude, but giueth grace vnto the humble. 7Submit your selues therefore to God: resist the deuill, and hee will flee from you.
