Yakobus 2:3
Konteks2:3 do you pay attention to the one who is finely dressed and say, 1 “You sit here in a good place,” 2 and to the poor person, “You stand over there,” or “Sit on the floor”? 3
Yakobus 1:9-10
Konteks1:9 Now the believer 4 of humble means 5 should take pride 6 in his high position. 7 1:10 But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow. 8
Yakobus 4:5
Konteks4:5 Or do you think the scripture means nothing when it says, 9 “The spirit that God 10 caused 11 to live within us has an envious yearning”? 12
Yakobus 1:22
Konteks1:22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.

[2:3] 1 tn Grk “and you pay attention…and say,” continuing the “if” clauses from v. 2. In the Greek text, vv. 2-4 form one long sentence.
[2:3] 2 tn Or “sit here, please.”
[2:3] 3 tn Grk “sit under my footstool.” The words “on the floor” have been supplied in the translation to clarify for the modern reader the undesirability of this seating arrangement (so also TEV, NIV, CEV, NLT). Another option followed by a number of translations is to replace “under my footstool” with “at my feet” (NAB, NIV, NRSV).
[1:9] 4 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] 5 tn Grk “the lowly brother,” but “lowly/humble” is clarified in context by the contrast with “wealthy” in v. 10.
[1:9] 6 tn Grk “let him boast.”
[1:9] 7 tn Grk “his height,” “his exaltation.”
[1:10] 8 tn Grk “a flower of grass.”
[4:5] 10 tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[4:5] 11 tc The Byzantine text and a few other
[4:5] 12 tn Interpreters debate the referent of the word “spirit” in this verse: (1) The translation takes “spirit” to be the lustful capacity within people that produces a divided mind (1:8, 14) and inward conflicts regarding God (4:1-4). God has allowed it to be in man since the fall, and he provides his grace (v. 6) and the new birth through the gospel message (1:18-25) to counteract its evil effects. (2) On the other hand the word “spirit” may be taken positively as the Holy Spirit and the sense would be, “God yearns jealously for the Spirit he caused to live within us.” But the word for “envious” or “jealous” is generally negative in biblical usage and the context before and after seems to favor the negative interpretation.
[4:5] sn No OT verse is worded exactly this way. This is either a statement about the general teaching of scripture or a quotation from an ancient translation of the Hebrew text that no longer exists today.
