James 4:10

Context
4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

James 1:9

Context

1:9 Now the believer 1  of humble means 2  should take pride 3  in his high position. 4 

1 tn Grk “brother.” Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. TEV, NLT “Christians”; CEV “God’s people”). The term broadly connotes familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).

2 tn Grk “the lowly brother,” but “lowly/humble” is clarified in context by the contrast with “wealthy” in v. 10.

3 tn Grk “let him boast.”

4 tn Grk “his height,” “his exaltation.”
