James 1:4
_ _ Let endurance have a perfect work (taken out of the previous “worketh patience” or endurance), that is, have its full effect, by showing the most perfect degree of endurance, namely, “joy in bearing the cross” [Menochius], and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22) [Calvin].
_ _ ye may be perfect — fully developed in all the attributes of a Christian character. For this there is required “joy” [Bengel], as part of the “perfect work” of probation. The work of God in a man is the man. If God’s teachings by patience have had a perfect work in you, you are perfect [Alford].
_ _ entire — that which has all its parts complete, wanting no integral part; 1 Thessalonians 5:23, “your whole (literally, ‘entire’) spirit, soul, and body”; as “perfect” implies without a blemish in its parts. |
James 1:4
Let patience have its perfect work — Give it full scope, under whatever trials befal you. That ye may be perfect and entire — Adorned with every Christian grace. And wanting nothing — Which God requires in you. |
James 1:4
(4) But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
(4) The third argument, proposed in manner of an exhortation, that true and lasting patience may be discerned from false and temporary. Affliction is the instrument God uses to polish and refine us. Therefore through the work and effect of afflictions, we are perfected in Christ. |
