.
Jas 4:6
But more importantly he gives more grace.,[a] Therefore to wit it says, “God resists rebuffs[b] the proud, but to the lowly[c] he gives grace to the humble.”[d]*
———
a Gr. Μείζονα δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν, lit., but greater he/she/it gives grace. Is μείζονα an adj. modifying grace, or an improper adv. (neu. acc.) modifying gives? Usually this verse is translated: but he gives greater grace (or more grace). But what then is greater grace?
b Gr. ἀντιτάσσω.
c Gr. ταπεινός, low. That is, humble.
d Proverbs 3:34 LXX: Κύριος ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσι χάριν. (See also 1 Peter 5:5.)
