James 4:6

μείζονα δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν : these words further emphasise the developed doctrine of the Spirit referred to above; they point to the nature of divine grace, which is almost illimitable. These verses, 5, 6, witness in a striking way to the Christian doctrine of grace, and herein breathe a different spirit from that found in most of the Epistle. ὁ Θεὸς … χάριν : Cf. Sir 10:7; Sir 10:12; Sir 10:18; Pss. of Sol. 2:25, Song of Solomon 2:4 :28; the quotation is also found in 1 Peter 5:5; taken with the preceding it teaches the divinity of the Holy Spirit. Ephrem Syrus quotes this as a saying of Christ's (Opp. iii. 93 E., ed. Assemani; quoted by Resch, op. cit., p. 199).
