King James Bible
"For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord."
James issues a stark warning to the double-minded person described in verse 6, commanding him to abandon any expectation of answered prayer. The emphatic negative construction underscores the certainty of this spiritual principle. The consequence is absolute—such a person will receive nothing from God, not merely have requests delayed or partially answered. This severity highlights how instability and doubt fundamentally oppose the faith required for effective prayer.
