You

you
kill

And
when
you

you
do

receive
because
you
ask
with
wrong
motives
that
you

ἢ

ὅτι
κενῶς

λέγει·

δίδωσιν

Ὁ
θεὸς

δίδωσιν
χάριν.

Or
do
you
think
the
Scripture
says
without
reason
that
the
Spirit
He
caused
to
dwell
in
us
yearns
with
envy

But
He
gives
us
more
grace
This
is
why
it
says
God
opposes
the
proud
but
gives
grace
to
the
humble
