Bible Question:
What scripture is James referring to here? retxar |
Bible Answer: Greetings Retxar! Here's a contribution to the commentary that has already been shared.. "4:5 The thought may also be expressed thus: Do you imagine there is no meaning to the Scripture that says, "The Spirit that dwells in us longs jealousy over us"? The Spirit does not want us to have divided allegiance."
