James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Why he said, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Were you to rest satisfied with any present attainments to which you have reached, it would be an abuse of encouragement. It would be an evidence that you know nothing of the power of Divine grace in reality, for — "Whoever says, I want no more, Confesses he has none." Those who have seen their Lord, will always pray, "I beseech thee, show me Thy glory." Those that have once tasted that the Lord is gracious, will always cry, "Evermore give us this bread to eat." (William Jay.) 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." |
