This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jam 1:12. Μακάριος, blessed) μακάριος is derived from μὴ, and κὴρ, “immortal.” This word, and the crown of life, are opposed to the word μαρανθήσεται, “shall fade away.”-ὑπομενεῖ, shall endure) See Jam 1:3-4; 1Pe 2:20. See App. Crit.,[9] 2d Edition, on this passage.-ἐπηγγείλατο, promised) See ch. Jam 2:5.-ἀγαπῶσιν, who love Him) Love produces patience. [He knows how to account all temptations in the light in which it is right to account them: Rom 8:28.-V. g.]
[9] More recent MSS. read ὑπομενεῖ. But the older MSS. AB, etc., and all the Versions, read ὑπομένει, Vulg. suffert. So Lachm. and Tisch.-E.
