James 4:6-7
World English Bible
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:6-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
6 But He gives us more and more grace ([a]power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).(A)
7 So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.
