Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Footnotes

1. James 1:19 Others start the new point here, taking this as a command (‘Know this’) to know or understand what follows, and omitting ‘but’.
2. James 1:19 That is, you know the gift of salvation comes down from God, who brought us forth by the word of truth, but receive this word not with anger toward others, but with gentleness. As seen in Acts 11, 15 and 21, this was an issue for some Jewish Christians.
