This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jam 2:7. Βλασφημοῦσι, blaspheme) Pro 30:9. The apostle is speaking chiefly of rich heathens. Comp. 1Pe 4:14; 1Pe 2:12. For there were not many rich men among the Jews, at any rate at Jerusalem.-τὸ καλὸν ὄνομα, the good name) השם, the name of God, to be praised above all things, בי טוב, since it is good, and His good name.-τὸ ἐπικὶηθὲν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, which is invoked over you) from which ye are called the people of God. There is a similar expression, Gen 48:16; Isa 4:1.
