2:13 For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over ⁵  judgment.

Yakobus 3:5

3:5 So too the tongue is a small part of the body, ⁶  yet it has great pretensions. ⁷  Think ⁸  how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze.

Yakobus 3:14

3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.

Yakobus 4:16

4:16 But as it is, ⁹  you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

[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.”

[2:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “boasts against, exults over,” in victory.

[3:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “a small member.”

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “boasts of great things.”

[3:5]  ⁸ tn Grk “Behold.”

[4:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “but now.”
