ACC ~ James 2 v1

ALL OF ONE BODY. CHRYSOSTOM: What does it matter if you think highly of yourself, when someone else despises you? Are we not all one body, both great and small? Therefore if in principle we are all one and members of each other, why do you mindlessly exalt yourself? Why do you bring shame on your brother? For just as he is a part of you, so you too are a part of him. CATENA.

HOLDING THE FAITH. BEDE: James here demonstrates that those to whom he is writing were full of faith but empty when it came to works. CONCERNING THE EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES.

FAVORITISM. OECUMENIUS: Anyone who does things by showing favoritism covers himself with great shame and reproach, for that way he brings disdain not only on his neighbor but much more on himself as well. COMMENTARY ON JAMES.
