But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. He gives more grace (meizona charin, μείζονα χάριν). Therefore: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (Proverbs 3:34). Humility opens the floodgates of sanctifying grace.Reformed believers rejoice that God's grace not only saves but supplies strength for repentance. Pride blocks that supply; humility receives it.
