(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For the sun is no sooner risen, etc. (ἀνέτειλεν γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος)
By the use of the aorist tense James graphically throws his illustration into the narrative form: “For the sun arose - and withered,” etc.
With a burning heat (τῷ καύσωνι)
Rev., with the scorching wind. The article denotes something familiar; and the reference may be to the scorching east-wind (Job 1:19, Sept.; Eze 17:10), which withers vegetation. Some of the best authorities, however, prefer the rendering of the A. V.
Falleth (ἐξέπεσεν)
Aorist tense. Lit., fell off.
The grace of the fashion (εὐπρέπεια τοῦ προσώπου)
Lit., the beauty of its face or appearance. Εὐπρέπεια only here in New Testament.
Fade away (μαρανθήσεται)
See on 1Pe 1:4.
Ways (πορείαις)
Rev., goings. Only here and Luk 13:22. His goings to and fro in acquiring riches.
