But you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judges?
All Commentaries on James 2:6 Go To James 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Bear their greed as patiently as you can! Those people destroy themselves, not you. For while they rob you of your money, they strip themselves of God's favor and help. For the one who bases his life on greed and gathers all the wealth of the world around him is in fact the poorest of all.
