James 4:5 | |
NASB: Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: "He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"? (NASB ©1995) GWT: Do you think this passage means nothing? It says, "The Spirit that lives in us wants us to be his own." (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? ASV: Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? BBE: Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us? DBY: Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously? WEY: Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns jealously over us"? WBS: Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? WEB: Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? YLT: Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, 'To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,' | |
