Why use "resist against something" here when "resist something" is clear enough in meaning? For example: We guard and resist against sins. Another example: He complained and judged against his brother.

Hey Srihari, Resist itself means to 'fight against'. The use of resist with against would be improper. Please restrict to using resist ______ instead of using restrict against Regards

You're right. Resist in itself implies "against something." In the first sentence, against usage is incorrect. On the other hand, the second sentence seems incorrectly framed.

Practice is the best way to get better. Are you worried about your pronunciation, your grammar or the subject you are talking about ? Think about it. Do you want some spoken English classes?
