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 4:10
Konteks4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
[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.”
