Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

James 5:6

_ _ Ye have condemned ... the just — The Greek aorist expresses, “Ye are accustomed to condemn ... the just.” Their condemnation of Christ, “the Just,” is foremost in James’ mind. But all the innocent blood shed, and to be shed, is included, the Holy Spirit comprehending James himself, called “the Just,” who was slain in a tumult. See my Introduction. This gives a peculiar appropriateness to the expression in this verse, the same “as the righteous (just) man” (James 5:16). The justice or righteousness of Jesus and His people is what peculiarly provoked the ungodly great men of the world.

_ _ he doth not resist you — The very patience of the Just one is abused by the wicked as an incentive to boldness in violent persecution, as if they may do as they please with impunity. God doth “resist the proud” (James 4:6); but Jesus as man, “as a sheep is dumb before the shearers, so He opened not His mouth”: so His people are meek under persecution. The day will come when God will resist (literally, “set Himself in array against”) His foes and theirs.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on James 5:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

James 5:6

Ye have killed the just — Many just men; in particular, "that Just One," Acts 3:14. They afterwards killed James, surnamed the Just, the writer of this epistle. He doth not resist you — And therefore you are secure. But the Lord cometh quickly, James 5:8.
