Gorgeously apparelled (ἐν ἱματισμῷ ἐνδόξῳ)
Lit., in splendid clothing.
Live delicately (τρυφῇ ὑπάρχοντες)
Lit., are in luxury. On ὑπάρχοντες, are, see on Jam 2:15. On τρυφῇ, luxury, see on 2Pe 2:13, the only other place where it occurs. Compare the kindred verb τρυφάω, to live in luxury, Jam 5:5.
Kings' courts (βασιλείοις)
