OET (OET-RV) Do you think that the scripture means nothing when it says, ‘God’s spirit jealously longs to live in us’?

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ Γραφὴ λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ Γραφή λέγει Πρός φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τό Πνεῦμα ὅ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν)

James is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question by translating his words as a statement. (In this context, the term vainly means “for no good reason,” not “in a conceited way.”) Alternate translation: [There is a good reason why the Scripture says]

ἡ Γραφὴ λέγει

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ Γραφή λέγει Πρός φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τό Πνεῦμα ὅ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν)

James is describing the general teaching of the Bible, not referring to a specific passage. In cases like this, your language might use the plural instead of the singular. Alternate translation: [the Scriptures say]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἡ Γραφὴ λέγει

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ Γραφή λέγει Πρός φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τό Πνεῦμα ὅ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν)

James is speaking of the Bible as if it could speak on its own. Alternate translation: [it is written in the Scriptures] or [we can read in the Scriptures]

πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ Πνεῦμα ὃ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ Γραφή λέγει Πρός φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τό Πνεῦμα ὅ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν)

Here, Spirit could mean: (1) the Holy Spirit, who could be the subject of the verb longs. The idea of the Spirit being jealous would fit with the adultery metaphor in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [The Spirit whom God has caused to live in us longs for us to live faithfully to God] (2) the Holy Spirit, who could be the object of the verb longs, in which case God would be the subject of that verb. This interpretation would also fit with the adultery metaphor. Alternate translation: [God longs jealously for us to live by the Spirit whom he has caused to live in us] (3) the human spirit, in which case the statement would be repeating what James said in [4:2](../04/02.md) about people coveting and envying. Alternate translation: [The spirit that God has caused to live in us longs jealously for things that it does not have]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ὃ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ δοκεῖτε ὅτι κενῶς ἡ Γραφή λέγει Πρός φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τό Πνεῦμα ὅ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖν)

Whatever the interpretation of the entire sentence, the pronoun he in this clause refers to God. Alternate translation: [whom God caused to live in us]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:5 Scriptures . . . say: James summarizes one of the messages of Scripture, that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.
