James 1:27

Context
1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before 1  God the Father 2  is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

James 5:9

Context
5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, 3  so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! 4 

1 tn Or “in the sight of”; Grk “with.”

2 tn Grk “the God and Father.”

3 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

4 sn The term gates is used metaphorically here. The physical referent would be the entrances to the city, but the author uses the term to emphasize the imminence of the judge’s approach.
