Tiago 4:10

10 Humilhai-vos perante o Senhor, e ele vos exaltará.

Tiago 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.

Tiago 4:10 In-Context

8 Chegai-vos para Deus, e ele se chegará para vós. Limpai as mãos, pecadores; e, vós de espírito vacilante, purificai os corações.

9 Senti as vossas misérias, lamentai e chorai; torne-se o vosso riso em pranto, e a vossa alegria em tristeza.

10 Humilhai-vos perante o Senhor, e ele vos exaltará.

11 Irmãos, não faleis mal uns dos outros. Quem fala mal de um irmão, e julga a seu irmão, fala mal da lei, e julga a lei; ora, se julgas a lei, não és observador da lei, mas juiz.

12 Há um só legislador e juiz, aquele que pode salvar e destruir; tu, porém, quem és, que julgas ao próximo?
