Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - James 2:1

Have not; profess not yourselves, and regard not, or esteem not in others. The faith of our Lord Jesus Christ; i.e. faith in our Lord Jesus Christ; not the author but the object of faith is meant, as Galatians 2:20; Galatians 3:22; Philippians 3:9. The Lord of glory; Lord not being in the Greek, glory may be joined with faith, ( admitting only a trajection in the words, so frequent in the sacred writers), and then the words will run thus, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, i.e.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - James 2:1-9

SINS OF PARTIALITY, ETC.CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESJames 2:1. Have not.—Better, “hold not.” Webster translates, “Without showing degrees of deference, maintain ye your faith.” The Lord of glory.—There are no words in the Greek answering to “the Lord,” but the insertion is necessary in order to complete the English sentence. Some would, however, give to the genitive, τῆς δόξης, only the qualifying power of an adjective, and render either “glorious faith,” or “faith of the glory revealed by our... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - James 2:1-26

Chapter 2Now my brothers, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons ( James 2:1 ).This is so difficult. It is so easy for us to fall in the trap of respecting persons. It's just I don't know a part of our whole social structure, I guess, is that of respecting certain persons above others. You've got to be careful that we don't fall into that trap.So often a person will introduce himself, "Well I am Dr. So." Doctor, oh my, we respect the person. We... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - James 2:1-26

James 2:1 . Have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. See James 1:1. The whole of this chapter turns on charity, which is the excellence of pure religion. In the eyes of the omnipresent Being we are all but worms of the dust; and at the throne of grace the prince and the beggar bow in equal rank, and with equal piety and hope. The Lord of glory sheds a lustre on all his members, brightening the countenance far above that of rings and gems.... read more

James 2:1-7With respect of persona--Respect of personsI.THE SIN AGAINST WHICH THE WARNING IS DIRECTED (James 2:1-4). 1. It is stated, James 2:1. “My brethren,” he begins, addressing them in a conciliatory manner, well fitted to gain their compliance. He calls on them not to hold, in a certain way, “the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.” It is this which alike determines the state and forms the character of the really religious. It is only by believing with the whole mind and heart that we are... read more
