Verse 18
James 1:18. A kind of first-fruits, &c.— More excellent than others, and in a peculiar manner separated and consecrated to him. By κτισματων, creatures, the apostle here means the new creation; and he seems by the expression to allude to Jeremiah 2:3. See also Romans 11:16; Romans 16:5. As in Jam 1:15 we have the genealogy of sin and death, in this verse is the genealogy of the Christian life and happiness.
