James 4:6

MSG

NIV

6 And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."
6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
