James 1:10
_ _ So far as one is merely “rich” in worldly goods, “he shall pass away”; in so far as his predominant character is that of a “brother,” he “abideth for ever” (1 John 2:17). This view meets all Alford’s objections to regarding “the rich” here as a “brother” at all. To avoid making the rich a brother, he translates, “But the rich glories in his humiliation,” namely, in that which is really his debasement (his rich state, Philippians 3:19), just as the low is told to rejoice in what is really his exaltation (his lowly state). |
James 1:10
But the rich, in that he is made low — Is humbled by a deep sense of his true condition. Because as the flower — Beautiful, but transient. He shall pass away — Into eternity. |
James 1:10
(8) But the (i) rich, in that he is made low: (9) because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
(8) Before he concludes, he gives a doctrine contrasted to the former: that is, how we ought to use prosperity, that is, the abundance of all things: that is, so that no man pleases himself, but rather be humble.
(i) Who has all things at his will. (9) An argument taken from the very nature of the things themselves, for that they are empty and unreliable. |
