James 3:14-16

14 But if you have bitter ^ajealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not ^bthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, ^cdemonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

James 4:5

5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit ^dthat he has made to dwell in us”?
