James 1:9
“But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;”
James 1:9 in the King James Version
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:Read James 1:9 in the King James Version →
Verse in context — James 1
For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
