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.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - James 2:9

9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Ver. 9. Ye commit sin ] That is flat; though ye have thought otherwise. See Trapp on " Jam 2:4 " And are convinced of the law as transgressors ] This they held either no sin or a small one, a peccadillo. The Civilian indeed saith, De minutis non curat lex, the law makes no matter of small matters. But God’s law condemneth small faults: as the sunshine showeth us atoms, moths. read more
