OET (OET-LV)And let_be_boasting the brother the humble, in the height of_him,

OET (OET-RV)Those of humbler means can boast about their greatness

uW Translation Notes:

καυχάσθω δὲ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὁ ταπεινὸς

/let_be/_boasting and the brother ¬the humble

James is using the word boast in a positive sense. He does not mean it in the sinful sense of bragging or vaunting oneself over others. Alternate translation: [Now let the lowly brother take satisfaction]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὁ ταπεινὸς

the brother ¬the humble

Since James contrasts this person with “the rich” in the next verse, he is using the word lowly as a spatial metaphor to mean “poor.” Alternate translation: [a believer who is poor]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφὸς

brother

James is using the term brother to refer to a fellow believer in Jesus. See how you translated brothers in 1:2. Alternate translation: [believer]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῷ ὕψει αὐτοῦ

the height ˱of˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun exaltation with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the high place he occupies]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ ὕψει αὐτοῦ

the height ˱of˲_him

James is using a spatial metaphor to describe poor believers as if they were in a high place. He wants to convey that God has shown special concern for them. Alternate translation: [the special concern that God has shown for him]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:9 something to boast about: In the New Testament, boasting is usually viewed negatively (3:14; 4:16; Eph 2:9), but here it means boasting about what God has done (Jas 2:5; Rom 15:18; 1 Cor 1:31; Gal 6:14).
