Exegesis
The main verb dokeite {δοκεῖτε | do-keî-te} ‘you think’ governs an indirect discourse clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} ‘that’, so everything following hoti expresses a mistaken assumption.
In context — James 4:5
Or do you think that the Scripture speaks in vain, “He yearns with jealous desire for the spirit that He has made to dwell in us”?
