James 1:8

1:8 since he is a double-minded individual, ¹  unstable in all his ways.

James 1:14

1:14 But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires.

¹ tn Grk “a man of two minds,” continuing the description of the person in v. 7, giving the reason that he cannot expect to receive anything. The word for “man” or “individual” is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” But it sometimes is used generically to mean “anyone,” “a person,” as here (cf. BDAG 79 s.v. 2).
