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:

μακροθυμήσατε καὶ ὑμεῖς

be_patient also you_all

Here James makes clear that what he said about farmers in the previous verse was an analogy for his readers. Alternate translation: [You should also wait patiently, just as a farmer does]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

στηρίξατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν

strengthen the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

James is using the heart to represent the will. Alternate translation: [Stay committed]

ἡ παρουσία τοῦ Κυρίου ἤγγικεν

the coming ˱of˲_the Lord /has/_neared

James is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. (By near he means near in time. This is not a spatial metaphor.) Alternate translation: [Jesus will return soon] or [the Lord Jesus will return soon]
