Verse 1.— My brethren, have not faith. The apostle in this verse desires to impress the brethren with the idea that with God there is no distinction to be made among men growing out of the accidental circum­stances of wealth or station, and that the brethren ought not therefore to hold the faith as applied favorably to the one class to the exclusion of the other, but to both alike, making no distinction. There is to be no difference made in the acceptance of persons. The faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, means no more and no less than the glorious faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. All is included therein so far as duty to God and our fellowman is con­cerned. The glory belongs to God. It is his.
