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
