Context — Social Justice and Favoritismgenerated
James 2:6 highlights the contrast between how the believers treat the poor and how the rich treat them. James emphasizes that the poor are often dishonored by those who should show them respect, while the rich, who are in a position of power, are the ones who oppress and drag them into legal disputes. This serves as a reminder of the values of the Kingdom of God, where the poor are honored and the rich are warned against their abuses of power.

The Key Word — ἠτιμάσατε, atimazōgenerated
The verb ἀτιμάζω (atimazō) means to dishonor or treat with disrespect. It is in the aorist tense, indicating a completed action in the past, and is directed at the second person plural, addressing the believers collectively. This word conveys a sense of contempt or disdain, suggesting that the believers have failed to uphold the dignity of the poor.
In this context, James is calling out the believers for their actions and the implications of their favoritism. The use of this verb serves to highlight the moral failure of dishonoring those in need, contrasting with the expected behavior of love and respect.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as dishonored, a choice echoed by the ASV and WEB. The KJV and GNV, however, use despised, which implies a stronger emotional disdain.
For πτωχόν, the translations generally agree on poor, but the ASV and BBE specify poor man, which emphasizes the individual rather than the general state of poverty.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two main clauses connected by the conjunction δὲ (de). The first clause presents the action of dishonoring the poor, while the second clause poses a rhetorical question about the rich oppressing the believers. This structure emphasizes the contrast between the actions of the believers and the behavior of the rich.
The first clause features the subject ὑμεῖς (you) and the verb ἠτιμάσατε (dishonored), while the second clause has the rich as the subject and includes the verbs καταδυναστεύουσιν (are oppressing) and ἕλκουσιν (dragging).
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἀτιμάζω does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but relates to themes of dishonor found in the Hebrew scriptures, particularly in contexts addressing justice and the treatment of the poor.
The term κριτήριον refers to a court and is used in the Septuagint to denote places of judgment, reinforcing the legal implications of the actions described in this verse.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
James 2:6 reminds believers that they have dishonored the poor while the rich are the ones who oppress them and take them to court. This highlights the issue of favoritism and the moral responsibility of the community to treat everyone with respect.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
To dishonor the poor means to treat them with disrespect or contempt, failing to recognize their dignity and worth as individuals.
James highlights the oppression of the poor by the rich to illustrate the injustice present in society and to challenge the believers to reflect on their own actions and attitudes.
This passage addresses favoritism by showing that the believers have dishonored the poor while giving undue respect to the rich, which contradicts the values of the Kingdom of God.

Thus whom God had called and chosen, you refused. “It is unworthy,” observes Calvin on this passage, “to cast down those whom God lifts up, and to treat them shamefully whom He vouchsafes to honour. But God honoureth the poor; therefore whoever he is that rejects them perverts the ordinance of God.” Do not rich men oppress you?—Or, lord it over you as a class; not assuredly that this can be said of each wealthy individual.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
vos autem exhonorastis pauperem. Nonne divites per potentiam opprimunt vos, et ipsi trahunt vos ad judicia ?
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ἀτιμάζω (atimazō) is built from the root ἄτιμος, meaning 'dishonored' or 'without honor.' It covers a range of meanings related to dishonor, insult, and maltreatment, appearing in contexts such as Mark 12:4 and Romans 2:23. The passive form indicates suffering dishonor, while some sources note its legal sense of depriving someone of civil rights.
ἀτιμάζω; 1 aor. ἠτίμασα ; [Pass., pres. ἀτιμάζομαι);: 1 aor. inf. ἀτιμασθῆναι ; (fr. ἄτιμος ; hence) to make ἄτιμος, to dishonor, insult, treat with contumely, whether in word, in deed, or in thought: [Mk. xii. 4 T Tr mre.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word πτωχός (ptochos) is derived from πτώσσω, meaning to crouch or cower. It primarily refers to a beggar or someone who is poor, often in a destitute sense, and is used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. The New Testament uses it to describe physical poverty (e.g., Luke 14:13) and spiritual lowliness (e.g., Matthew 5:3).
πτωχός, -ή, -ov, (πτώσσω, to be thoroughly frizhtened, to cower down or hide one’s self for fear; hence πτωχός prop. one who slinks and crouches), often involving the idea of roving about in wretchedness [see πένης, fin.; “but it always had a bad sense till it was ennobled in the Gospels; see Mt. v. 3; Lk. vi. 20, ef. 2 Co. viii. 9” (L. and 5. 5. v.

poor ('ebhyon, dal, `ani, rush; ptochos):
I. In the Old Testament.
The poor have great prominence in the Bible; it is said, indeed, that there should be no poor among the Hebrews because Yahweh should so greatly bless them (De 15:4 the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version margin); but this was only to be realized on certain conditions of obedience (De 15:5), and in De 15:11 it is said,"The poor will never cease out of the land"; but they were to see to it that none was left in destitution. The very foundation of the Hebrew religion was God's pity on a poor and oppressed people.
1. The Terms Employed:
Poor
The Mosaic legislation regarding the poor is specially important. (1.) They had the right of gleaning the fields (Lev. 19:9, 10; Deut. 24:19,21).
(2.) In the sabbatical year they were to have their share of the produce of the fields and the vineyards (Ex. 23:11; Lev. 25:6).
(3.) In the year of jubilee they recovered their property (Lev. 25:25-30).
(4.) Usury was forbidden, and the pledged raiment was to be returned before the sun went down (Ex. 22:25-27; Deut. 24:10-13). The rich were to be generous to the…
The general kindly spirit of the law toward the poor is sufficiently shown by such passages as (15:7) for the reason that (ver. 11) "the poor shall never cease out of the land." Among the special enactments in their favor the following must be mentioned: The right of gleaning. (Leviticus 19:9,10; 24:19,21) From the produce of the land in sabbatical years the poor and the stranger were to have their portion. (Exodus 23:11; Leviticus 25:6) Re-entry upon land in the jubilee year, with the limitation as to town homes. (Leviticus 25:25-30) Prohibition of usury and of retention of pledges. (Exodus 22:25-27;
Ps 12:5 41:1-3, especially cared for in the Jewish dispensation, Ex 23:6 Pr 14:31, and even more so under the gospel, Mt 25:42-45 Jas 2:5. The slight offerings required of them by the law were as acceptable as the hecatombs of the rich, Le 5:7-13 Mr 12:41-44. The gleanings of the fields, the olive trees, and the vines, were to be left for them, Le 19:9 De 24:19

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),
[in LXX for לֹא, אַיִן, אֵין;]
neg. particle,
not, no, used generally c. indic. and for a denial of fact (cf . μή);
absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH. Introd. § 409); L οὐχ ὀλίγος, Acts xix. 23; οὐχ ἠγάπησαν, Rev. xii. 11; and contrariwise οὐκ before an aspirate, as οὐκ ἕστηκεν, Jn. viii. 44 T; [οὐκ ἕνεκεν, 2 Co. vii. 12 T]; (οὐκ εὗρον, Lk. xxiv. 3; [οὐκ ὑπάρχει, Acts iii. 6] in cod. x [alsoC*; ef. cod.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word πλούσιος (plousios) means 'rich' or 'wealthy,' derived from πλοῦτος (ploutos). It is used in the New Testament to describe both material wealth and metaphorically to indicate abundance in qualities such as mercy or faith. The term appears in various contexts, including references to rich individuals and God's richness in mercy.

The Greek word καταδυναστεύω (*katadunasteuō*) means to oppress or exercise power over someone. It is built from a prefix meaning 'against' and a root related to dominion. The New Testament uses it in contexts of oppression, notably in James 2:6 and Acts 10:38. The entries indicate a consistent meaning of harsh control or exploitation.
κατα-δυναστεύω,
[in LXX for ינה, עשׁק, etc.;]
to exercise power over, oppress: c. acc. pers. (Xen.; LXX, Mi 2:2, Wi 2:10, al.); c. gen. pers., Ja 2:6 (ὑμᾶς, T); pass., Ac 10:38 (cf. MM, Exp., xv).†
κατα-δυναστεύω; pres. pass. ptep. καταδυναστευόμενος ; Sept. for in, pwy, ete.; with gen. of pers. [W. 206 (193); B. 169 (147)], to exercise harsh control over one, to use one’s power against one: Jas. ii. 6 [not Tdf. (see below) ] (Diod. 13, 73); τινά, to oppress one (Xen. cony. 5, 8; often in Sept.): Jas. ii. 6 Tdf.; pass. Acts x. 38.
καταδυναστεύω. The rather generalized use of this verb in Ac 10% is illustrated by P Petr III. 36 (a) verso® (Ptol.) πολλάκις] σοι γέγpada διότι καταδεδυνάστεῦμαι (sic—the writer wished to change the tense) ἐν τῆι φυλ[α]κῆι λιμῶι παραπολλύμενος, “1 have often explained to you in writing why I am being harshly treated in the prison, perishing from hunger”: though the agent in Acts /.c, is the devil, the reference is to the physical sufferings attributed to possession. For the verb of men in authority misusing their power, as in Jas 25 (cf. Wisd 27°, 1514, 17), seealso P Oxy 1.6715 (a.p. 338) where, in a dispute concerning property, the petitioner complains—kataSvvacrevovtes ἐπέχουσιν τῶν ἡμῖν διαφερόντων οἰκοπέϊδω]ν, ‘certain persons are oppressing me and occupying my own…

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ. The word can be used for emphasis or contrast, particularly in the New Testament, as seen in verses like Matthew 26:64. It also appears in various dialects and has enclitic forms.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word ἕλκω (lemma: helkō) means to draw or pull, both literally and metaphorically. It appears in various contexts, such as drawing a sword or persuading someone. In the New Testament, it is used in verses like John 6:44 and 12:32, where it conveys a sense of attraction rather than force. Lexicographers note that it differs from similar words by emphasizing a non-violent drawing.
Turse words differ, and the difference between them is not theologically unimportant. We best represent this difference in English, when we render σύρειν, ‘to drag,” ἕλκειν, ‘to draw.’ In σύρειν, as in our ‘drag,’ there lies always the notion of force, as when Plutarch (De Lib. Ed. 8) speaks of the headlong course of a river, πάντα σύρων καὶ πάντα παραφέρων : and it will follow, that where persons, and not merely things, are in question, σύρειν will involve the notion of violence (Acts viii. 3 ; xiv. 19; xvii. 6; ef. κατασύρειν, Luke xii. 58). But in ἕλκειν this notion of force or violence does not of necessity lie. It may be there (Acts xvi. 19; xxi. 30; Jam. ii. 6; cf. Homer, JI. xi. 258; xxiv. 52,417; Aristophanes, Hquit. 710; Euripides, Troad. 70: Aias εἷλκε ἹΚασάνδραν Bia) ; but not of necessity (thus Plato, Rep. vi. 494e: ἐὰν ἕλκηται πρὸς φιλοσοφίαν : ef. vii. 538 d), any more…

The Greek word κριτήριον (kritērion) is derived from κριτής and means a means of judging or a standard, often referring to a tribunal or court of judgment. It appears in the New Testament in contexts related to legal matters, such as 1 Corinthians 6:2, 4 and James 2:6. Some lexicons note an exceptional usage referring to the matter being judged, but this interpretation is disputed.
