John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:1

A servant of Jesus Christ - Whose name the apostle mentions but once more in the whole epistle, James 2:1 . And not at all in his whole discourse, Acts 15:14, &c.; or Acts 21:20-25 . It might have seemed, if he mentioned him often, that he did it out of vanity, as being the brother of the Lord. To the twelve tribes - Of Israel; that is, those of them that believe. Which are scattered abroad - In various countries. Ten of the tribes were scattered ever since the reign of Hosea; and great part of... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:2

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; My brethren, count it all joy — Which is the highest degree of patience, and contains all the rest.When ye fall into divers temptations — That is, trials. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:4

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.Let patience have its perfect work — Give it full scope, under whatever trials befal you.That ye may be perfect and entire — Adorned with every Christian grace.And wanting nothing — Which God requires in you. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.If any want — The connexion between the first and following verses, both here and in the fourth chapter, will be easily discerned by him who reads them, while he is suffering wrongfully. He will then readily perceive, why the apostle mentions all those various affections of the mind.Wisdom — To understand, whence and why temptations come, and how they are to be... read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:6

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.But let him ask in faith — A firm confidence in God. St. James also both begins and ends with faith, James 5:15; the hinderances of which he removes in the middle part of his epistle.He that doubteth is like a wave of the sea — Yea, such are all who have not asked and obtained wisdom.Driven with the wind — From without.And tossed — From within, by his own unstableness. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:8

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.A doubleminded man — Who has, as it were, two souls; whose heart is not simply given up to God.Is unstable — Being without the true wisdom; perpetually disagrees both with himself and others, James 3:16. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - James 1:9

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:Let the brother — St James does not give this appellation to the rich.Of low degree — Poor and tempted.Rejoice — The most effectual remedy against doublemindedness.In that he is exalted — To be a child of God, and an heir of glory. read more
