the grace to behave

Word plays are helpful ways to learn.  The work of Bible translators is to make a version as understandable as possible.  One of those ways is to find phrases that show the right comparison, alliteration, or even rhyme.  There is a quotation in the hard-hitting book of James that is one of those places.  It's a quotation from Proverbs 3:3. James refers to it as a gift of God's grace.  

James 4:6    But he gives greater grace. Therefore he says:
     God resists the proud
​    but gives grace to the humble.
James just made it clear for us. I want to be on the side of God's grace giving power rather than His resisting.  Praise God!
