TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:2 your meeting (literally your synagogue): This word refers to the gathering of people rather than the building in which they met.
• The fancy clothes and expensive jewelry of the rich, in contrast to the dirty clothes of the poor, symbolize the contrast in socioeconomic status.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἐὰν γὰρ

if for

James is using a hypothetical situation to teach. He describes the condition in this verse and the next verse, and he describes the result in 2:4. Alternate translation: “Suppose”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνὴρ χρυσοδακτύλιος, ἐν ἐσθῆτι λαμπρᾷ

/a/_man gold_ring in clothing splendid

James assumes that his readers will know that he is giving an example of what a wealthy person might wear. (The expression a gold-ringed man does not mean a man who is ringed around with gold, but a man who is wearing a gold ring.) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a different example from your own culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “someone who is dressed like a wealthy person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνὴρ

/a/_man

James is using the term man in a generic sense that could mean either a man or a woman. Alternate translation: “person”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

συναγωγὴν

/the/_synagogue

A synagogue is a Jewish meeting place for worship. James uses the term because he is writing primarily to Jews who have put their faith in Jesus as their Messiah. (See the discussion in Part 1 of the Introduction to James.) In your translation you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “meeting place”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πτωχὸς

/a/_poor_‹man›

James is using the adjective poor as a noun in order to mean a kind of person. (ULT adds one to indicate this.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “a person who is poor”
