James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Why he said, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. The world gives a little that it may give no more; but Christ gives "that He may give." He gives a little grace that He may give grace upon grace. He gives a little comfort that He may give fulness of joy. Souls that are rich in grace labour after greater measures of grace out of love to grace, and because of an excellency that they see in grace. Grace is a very sparkling jewel, and be who loves it and pursues after it for its own native beauty has much of it within him. (T. Brooks.) Parallel Verses KJV: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.WEB: But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." |
