HOW great is the evil of pride, that it rightly has no angel, nor other
virtues opposed to it, but God Himself as its adversary! Since it should be
noted that it is never said of those who are entangled in other sins that
they have God resisting them; I mean it is not said that God is opposed "to
the gluttonous, fornicators, passionate, or covetous," but only "to the
proud." For those sins react only on those who commit them, or seem to be
committed against those who share in them, i.e., against other men; but
this one has more properly to do with God, land therefore it is especially
right that it should have Him opposed to it.
