Santiago 2:7

Listen to Santiago 2:7
7 ¿No son ellos los que blasfeman el buen nombre de aquel a quien ustedes pertenecen?

Santiago 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.

Santiago 2:7 In-Context

5 Escuchen, mis queridos hermanos: ¿No ha escogido Dios a los que son pobres según el mundo para que sean ricos en la fe y hereden el reino que prometió a quienes lo aman?
6 ¡Pero ustedes han menospreciado al pobre! ¿No son los ricos quienes los explotan a ustedes y los arrastran ante los tribunales?
7 ¿No son ellos los que blasfeman el buen nombre de aquel a quien ustedes pertenecen?
8 Hacen muy bien si de veras cumplen la ley suprema de la Escritura: «Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo»;
9 pero si muestran algún favoritismo, pecan y son culpables, pues la misma ley los acusa de ser transgresores.
