Jakobus 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

James 1:3

Knowing this
By experience; as everyone that is trained up in the school of affliction does: the apostle appeals to the saints, to whom he writes, for the truth of what he was about to say; and which he gives as a reason why they should rejoice in afflictions, because it is a known fact,

that the trying of your faith worketh patience:
two things afflictions do when sanctified; one is, they try faith, the truth of it, and make it appear to be true, genuine, and precious, like gold tried in the fire; see ( 1 Peter 1:6 1 Peter 1:7 ) and the other is, that they produce patience: saints being inured to afflictions, become by degrees more patient under them; whence it is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth: this phrase may be understood, both of faith, which being tried by afflictions, produces patience; for where the one is in exercise, the other is also, and both are necessary under afflictive providences; and also of afflictions, which try faith, and being sanctified by the Spirit of God, work patience, which is a fruit of the Spirit; for otherwise the effect of them is impatience; and this agrees with the Apostle Paul in ( Romans 5:3 Romans 5:4 ) .

Jakobus 1:3 In-Context

1 Jakobus, een dienstknecht van God en van den Heere Jezus Christus; aan de twaalf stammen, die in de verstrooiing zijn: zaligheid.
2 Acht het voor grote vreugde, mijn broeders, wanneer gij in velerlei verzoekingen valt;
3 Wetende, dat de beproeving uws geloofs lijdzaamheid werkt.
4 Doch de lijdzaamheid hebbe een volmaakt werk, opdat gij moogt volmaakt zijn en geheel oprecht, in geen ding gebrekkelijk.
5 En indien iemand van u wijsheid ontbreekt, dat hij ze van God begere, Die een iegelijk mildelijk geeft, en niet verwijt; en zij zal hem gegeven worden.
