You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.

[4] You spiritual adulterers! Don't you know that choosing friendship with the world's values makes you an enemy of God? Anyone who decides to be the world's friend makes themselves God's enemy.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.
