TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Coming of the Lord as Judge

The Bible is clear that there will be a day of judgment (Jas 5:3), and the book of James provides followers of Christ with both a warning and a promise regarding that day. James announces the future coming of the Lord as Judge (Jas 5:7-9; cp. Isa 26:21; Mic 1:3). God, who gave the law, is the Judge who has the power to save and destroy (4:12). Those who slander Jesus Christ and oppress his followers will be slaughtered (see 2:6-7; 5:5-6). If those who follow Christ neglect to show mercy (2:13), befriend the world (4:4), sin through speech (4:11; 5:9), or live to satisfy evil desires (4:1, 16), they, too, will be judged by the law that was intended to set them free (2:12).

The Lord’s future coming influences present realities. God already honors the faithful poor and humiliates the exploitative rich (1:9-10; 5:2-3). Christ’s followers have already become God’s prized possession as God is restoring all things (1:18). James declares that we should obey the royal law of the messianic kingdom (2:8), of which followers of Christ have become heirs (2:5).

The coming of the Lord may not be immediate, so James exhorts Christians to endure (1:3-4) and wait patiently for Christ’s return (5:7-8). They will receive the crown of eternal life (1:12) and reap the harvest of righteousness sown by a life of faithfulness to God (3:18).

In view of impending judgment, James exhorts Christ’s followers to resist the devil and to humble themselves before God (4:7). We must grieve over sin, live with pure intentions and behavior (4:8-9), and rescue any Christian brother or sister who is headed toward death (5:19-20). Like Elijah, we must practice faith, prayer, and confession (5:13-18). Like Job, we must endure suffering, discovering in the end the scope of God’s kindness and mercy (4:10; 5:11).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐτρυφήσατε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ ἐσπαταλήσατε

˱you_all˲_indulged on the earth and ˱you_all˲_lived_luxuriously

These two phrases mean similar things. James is using them together for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [You have indulged yourselves with earthly luxuries]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐθρέψατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς

˱you_all˲_nourished the hearts ˱of˲_you_all in /the/_day ˱of˲_slaughter

James is speaking of these rich people as if they were cattle that had been fed luxuriously on grain so they would becomefattened for slaughter as banqueting food. In this case the banquet is not a positive image, as it often is elsewhere when it describes God’s future reign. Alternate translation: [Your self-indulgence has made you subject to harsh judgment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐθρέψατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς

˱you_all˲_nourished the hearts ˱of˲_you_all in /the/_day ˱of˲_slaughter

James is speaking of the heart as the center of human desire. Alternate translation: [You have indulged your desires]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ

in /the/_day

James is using the term day to refer to a particular time. Alternate translation: [at a time]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς

in /the/_day ˱of˲_slaughter

James is using the idea of slaughter to refer to God’s judgment. Alternate translation: [at a time when God is about to judge everyone for what they have done]
