Tiago 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 7 Do they not blaspheme that worthy name
Of Christ, or Christians;

by the which ye are called?
and which, as before, may design either unbelieving rich men, whether among Jews, or Gentiles, who blasphemed and cursed the name of Christ, and compelled others to do so likewise; or such who professed the Christian religion, who by their supercilious and disdainful treatment of their poor brethren, and by their dragging of them to the tribunals of the Heathens, and distressing them with vexatious law suits there, caused the name of Christ, after which they were called Christians, to be blasphemed and evil spoken of, among the Gentiles.

Tiago 2:7 In-Context

5 Ouvi, meus amados irmãos. Não escolheu Deus os que são pobres quanto ao mundo para fazê-los ricos na fé e herdeiros do reino que prometeu aos que o amam?
6 Mas vós desonrastes o pobre. Porventura não são os ricos os que vos oprimem e os que vos arrastam aos tribunais?
7 Não blasfemam eles o bom nome pelo qual sois chamados?
8 Todavia, se estais cumprindo a lei real segundo a escritura: Amarás ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo, fazeis bem.
9 Mas se fazeis acepção de pessoas, cometeis pecado, sendo por isso condenados pela lei como transgressores.
