That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord — the consequence of divided allegiance is spiritual barrenness in prayer, for the double-minded cannot genuinely access divine gifts. The Greek ἐκεῖνος (that one) emphasizes the particular person of divided heart, suggesting that such an individual stands outside the economy of grace because they cannot fully enter into it. This verse assumes that receiving from God requires the whole person aligned in trust, not compartmentalized faith.
