Giacomo 4:10

10 Umiliatevi nel cospetto del Signore, ed Egli vi innalzerà.

Giacomo 4:10 Meaning and Commentary

James 4:10

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord
Which is done, when men, before the Lord, and from their hearts, and in the sincerity of their souls, acknowledge their meanness and unworthiness, their vileness, sinfulness, and wretchedness, and implore the grace and mercy of God in Christ, as did Abraham, Jacob, Job, Isaiah, Paul, and the publican; and when they walk humbly with God, acknowledging they can do nothing without him; owning their dependence on his grace, and ascribing all they have, and are, unto it:

and he shall lift you up;
this is God's usual way to lift up the meek, and exalt those that humble themselves; he lifts them from the dunghill, to set them among princes; he gives them a place, and a name in his house, better than sons and daughters; he adorns them with his grace; he clothes them with the righteousness of his Son, he grants them nearness to himself; and at last will introduce them into his kingdom and glory.

Giacomo 4:10 In-Context

8 Appressatevi a Dio, ed Egli si appresserà a voi. Nettate le vostre mani, o peccatori, e purificate i vostri cuori, o doppi d’animo!

9 Siate afflitti e fate cordoglio e piangete! Sia il vostro riso convertito in lutto, e la vostra allegrezza in mestizia!

10 Umiliatevi nel cospetto del Signore, ed Egli vi innalzerà.

11 Non parlate gli uni contro gli altri, fratelli. Chi parla contro un fratello, o giudica il suo fratello, parla contro la legge e giudica la legge. Ora, se tu giudichi la legge, non sei un osservatore della legge, ma un giudice.

12 Uno soltanto è il legislatore e il giudice, Colui che può salvare e perdere; ma tu chi sei, che giudichi il tuo prossimo?
