James 5:9
_ _ Grudge not — rather “Murmur not”; “grumble not.” The Greek is literally, “groan”: a half-suppressed murmur of impatience and harsh judgment, not uttered aloud or freely. Having exhorted them to patience in bearing wrongs from the wicked, he now exhorts them to a forbearing spirit as to the offenses given by brethren. Christians, who bear the former patiently, sometimes are impatient at the latter, though much less grievous.
_ _ lest ... condemned — The best manuscript authorities read, “judged.” James refers to Matthew 7:1, “Judge not lest ye be judged.” To “murmur against one another” is virtually to judge, and so to become liable to be judged.
_ _ judge ... before the door — referring to Matthew 24:33. The Greek is the same in both passages, and so ought to be translated here as there, “doors,” plural. The phrase means “near at hand” (Genesis 4:7), which in the oldest interpretations [Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem] is explained, “thy sin is reserved unto the judgment of the world to come.” Compare “the everlasting doors” (Psalms 24:7, whence He shall come forth). The Lord’s coming to destroy Jerusalem is primarily referred to; and ultimately, His coming again visibly to judgment. |
James 5:9
Murmur not one against another — Have patience also with each other. The judge standeth before the door — Hearing every word, marking every thought. |
James 5:9
(4) (d) Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: (5) behold, the judge standeth before the door.
(4) He commends Christian patience, for that which others through impatience use to accuse one another, the faithful on the other hand, do not complain though they receive injury.
(d) By grudging he means a certain inward complaining which indicates impatience. (5) The conclusion: The Lord is at the door and will defend his own and avenge his enemies, and therefore we do not need to trouble ourselves. |
