Ohm's Law

... is usually stated as "The current between two points (or through a conductor) is directly proportional to the potential difference (or the voltage) across them." This is expressed algebraically as "V=I/R", where V is the potential difference, I is the current, and R is the resistance of the circuit between the two points (or of the conductor).

For a given potential difference, the current that flows through a conductor is actually inversely proportional to its resistance. (The higher the resistance, the lower the current.)

To state that "the current flow through a conductor is inversely proportional to its resistance" would in any case be meaningless, without reference to a potential difference. The resistance is a constant; for proportionality you need two variables. The two variables in this case are the potential difference and the current.
