Context

[1:9]  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).

[1:9]  2 tn Grk “the lowly brother,” but “lowly/humble” is clarified in context by the contrast with “wealthy” in v. 10.

[1:9]  3 tn Grk “let him boast.”

[1:9]  4 tn Grk “his height,” “his exaltation.”

[1:10]  5 tn Grk “a flower of grass.”
