“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: 'God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.' — the citation from Proverbs 3:34 establishes that God's grace (charis) works in opposition to pride. The 'more grace' suggests that grace is God's inexhaustible response, always exceeding what is needed. The principle is sharp: antitassō (opposes/sets himself against) the proud (hyperēphanoi) while charis (grace) goes to the tapeinoi (humble). God's opposition and favor divide along the line of humility.
