James 1:9

But. Omitted in A. V. Introducing a contrast with the double - minded. The brother of low degree [ο α δ ε λ φ ο ς ο τ α π ε ι ν ο ς]. Lit., the brother, the lowly one. Not in the higher Christian sense of tapeinov (see on Matthew 11:29), but, rather, poor and afflicted, as contrasted with rich. Rejoice [α ν θ ο ς]. Not strong enough. It is, rather, boast. So Rev., glory. Compare Romans 5:3; Philippians 3:3.

In that he is exalted [ε ν τ ω υ ψ ε ι α υ τ ο υ]. Lit., in his exaltation. Rev., in his high estate.
