Yakobus 1:9-10
Konteks1:9 Now the believer 1 of humble means 2 should take pride 3 in his high position. 4 1:10 But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow. 5
Yakobus 2:5
Konteks2:5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! 6 Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
[1:9] 1 tn Grk “brother.” Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. TEV, NLT “Christians”; CEV “God’s people”). The term broadly connotes familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).
[1:9] 2 tn Grk “the lowly brother,” but “lowly/humble” is clarified in context by the contrast with “wealthy” in v. 10.
[1:9] 3 tn Grk “let him boast.”
[1:9] 4 tn Grk “his height,” “his exaltation.”
[1:10] 5 tn Grk “a flower of grass.”
[2:5] 6 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.
