Santiago 4:10

10 Humíllense delante del Señor, y él los levantará con honor.

Santiago 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.

Santiago 4:10 In-Context

8 Acérquense a Dios, y Dios se acercará a ustedes. Lávense las manos, pecadores; purifiquen su corazón, porque su lealtad está dividida entre Dios y el mundo.

9 Derramen lágrimas por lo que han hecho. Que haya lamento y profundo dolor. Que haya llanto en lugar de risa y tristeza en lugar de alegría.

10 Humíllense delante del Señor, y él los levantará con honor.

11 No juzgar a los demás
Amados hermanos, no hablen mal los unos de los otros. Si se critican y se juzgan entre ustedes, entonces critican y juzgan la ley de Dios. En cambio, les corresponde obedecer la ley, no hacer la función de jueces.

12 Solo Dios, quien ha dado la ley, es el Juez. Solamente él tiene el poder para salvar o destruir. Entonces, ¿qué derecho tienes tú para juzgar a tu prójimo?
