James 4:5 in Context — James 4
3 Vous demandez, et vous ne recevez pas, parce que vous demandez mal, dans le but de satisfaire vos passions.
4 Adultères que vous êtes! Ne savez-vous pas que l’amour du monde est inimitié contre Dieu? Celui donc qui veut être ami du monde se rend ennemi de Dieu.
5 Croyez-vous que l’Écriture parle en vain? C’est avec jalousie que Dieu chérit l’esprit qu’il a fait habiter en nous.
6 Il accorde, au contraire, une grâce plus excellente; c’est pourquoi l’Écriture dit: Dieu résiste aux orgueilleux, Mais il fait grâce aux humbles.
7 Soumettez-vous donc à Dieu; résistez au diable, et il fuira loin de vous.
