Santiago 1:8

8 su lealtad está dividida entre Dios y el mundo, y son inestables en todo lo que hacen.

Santiago 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

James 1:8

A double minded man
A man of two souls, or of a double heart, that speaks and asks with an heart, and an heart, as in ( Psalms 12:2 ) who halts between two opinions, and is at an uncertainty what to do or say, and is undetermined what to ask for; or who is not sincere and upright in his requests, who asks for one thing, and means another, and asks amiss, and with an ill design; does not call upon God in truth, and in the sincerity of his soul; draws nigh to him with his mouth, and honours him with his lips, but his heart is far from him. Such an one is

unstable in all his ways;
he is confused in his mind; restless in his thoughts, unsettled in his designs and intentions; inconstant in his petitions; uncertain in his notions and opinion of things; and very variable in his actions, and especially in matters of religion; he is always changing, and never at a point, but at a continual uncertainty, both in a way of thinking and doing: he never continues long either in an opinion, or in a practice, but is ever shifting and moving.

Santiago 1:8 In-Context

6 Cuando se la pidan, asegúrense de que su fe sea solamente en Dios, y no duden, porque una persona que duda tiene la lealtad dividida y es tan inestable como una ola del mar que el viento arrastra y empuja de un lado a otro.

7 Esas personas no deberían esperar nada del Señor;

8 su lealtad está dividida entre Dios y el mundo, y son inestables en todo lo que hacen.

9 Los creyentes que son pobres
pueden estar orgullosos, porque Dios los ha honrado;

10 y los que son ricos
deberían estar orgullosos de que Dios los ha humillado. Se marchitarán como una pequeña flor de campo.
