Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

James 1:3

_ _ the trying — the testing or proving of your faith, namely, by “divers temptations.” Compare Romans 5:3, tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience (in the original dokime, akin to dokimion, “trying,” here; there it is experience: here the “trying” or testing, whence experience flows).

_ _ patience — The original implies more; persevering endurance and continuance (compare Luke 8:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on James 1:2-12.
