James 4:5

Ἢ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ γραφὴ λέγει; Πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα ὃ κατῴκησεν ἐν ἡμῖν.
Ē dokeite oti kenōs ē graphē legei; Pros phthonon epipothei to pneyma o katōkēsen en ēmin.
King James Version (KJV)

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

Modern English

Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?
