Jas1:1
James 1:1
CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE EPISTLE OF JAMES:
James, the son of Alpheus, the brother of Jacob, and the near
relation of our Lord, called also {James the Less} probably
because he was of lower stature, or younger, the the other
James,
the son of Zebedee, is generally allowed to be the writer of
this
Epistle; and the few that have doubted this have assigned very
slight reasons for their dissent, and advanced very weak
arguments
on the other side. It is recorded in ecclesiastical history, and
the book of the Acts of the Apostles confirms the fact, that he
generally resided at Jerusalem, superintending the churches in
that city, and in the neighboring places, to the end of his
life,
which was terminated by martyrdom about A.D. 62: This epistle
appears to have been written but a short time before his death;
and it is probable that the sharp rebukes and awful warnings
given
in it to his countrymen excited that persecuting rage which
terminated his life. It is styled {Catholic} or {General}
because
it was not addressed to any particular church, but to the Jewish
nation throughout their dispersions. Though its genuineness was
doubted for a considerable time, yet its insertion in the
ancient
Syriac version, which was executed at the close of the first, or
the beginning of the second century, and the citation of, or
allusion to it, by Clement of Rome, Hermas, and Ignatious, and
its
being quoted by Origen, Jerome, Athanasius, and most of the
subsequent ecclesiastical writers, as well as it internal
evidence, are amply sufficient to prove the point.
* 1-4 We are to rejoice under the cross
5-12 to ask patience of God
13-18 and in our trials not to impute our weakness, or sins, to
him
19-25 but rather to hearken to the word, to meditate on it, and
to
do thereafter
26,27 Otherwise men may seem, but never be, truly religious
