Koine and Biblical and Medieval Greek • Re: πρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα (James 4:5)

"With regard to φθόνος" hardly fits. For πρὸς φθόνον, of course, we have LSJ.πρός.C.I.7 "πρός c.acc. freq. periphr. for Adv. ..."

Rather then context precluding it, God's jealousy is in fact a frequent topic in scripture. Verse 4, with the accusation of "μοιχαλίδες" demands the adverbial understanding here: "jealously"
