Study Note
'God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble' — quoted from Proverbs 3:34 — appears in both James 4:6 and here, making it one of the most multiply-attested maxims in the New Testament epistles. In context, Peter applies the principle to relationships within the Christian community: younger members toward elders, and ultimately everyone toward God. The verb 'resisteth' (antitassetai) suggests active opposition, not mere withdrawal of favor, while 'giveth grace' (didōsin charin) promises ongoing supply. The verse encapsulates the theological logic of the Beatitudes ('blessed are the meek') and of the Incarnation itself — the Son of God came as servant, not lord.
