{More grace} (meizona charin). "Greater grace." Greater
than what? "Greater grace in view of the greater requirement"
(Ropes), like  Ro 5:20f . God does this. {Wherefore} (dio). To
prove this point James quotes  Pr 3:34 . {God resisteth the
proud} (ho theos huper(8870)hanois antitassetai). Present middle
(direct) indicative of antitass(935c), old military term, to range
in battle against, with dative case ( Ro 13:2 ) as in  5:6 .
Huper(8870)hanois (huper, phainomai) is like our vernacular
"stuck-up folks" ( Ro 1:30 ), "haughty persons." {But giveth
grace to the humble} (	apeinois de did(9373)in charin). Anarthrous
adjective again, "to humble or lowly persons," for which word see
 1:9f . Cf.  2:5-7  5:1-6 .
