Cross-References
Behold, He has spread His light over it, || And He has covered the roots of the sea,
Where [is] this—the way light dwells? And darkness, where [is] this—its place?
By the word of YHWH || The heavens have been made, || And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
For He has spoken, and it is, || He has commanded, and it stands.
Light [is] sown for the righteous, || And joy for the upright of heart.
Covering Himself [with] light as a garment, || Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, || Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, || To the horns of the altar.
They praise the Name of YHWH, || For He commanded, and they were created.
Forming light, and creating darkness, || Making peace, and creating calamity, || I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
The sun is no longer your light by day, || And for brightness the moon does not give light to you, || And YHWH has become to you || A continuous light, and your God your beauty.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience - Patience is one of the fruits of such a trial, and the grace of patience is worth the trial which it may cost to procure it. This is one of the passages which show that James was acquainted with the writings of Paul. See the Introduction, Section 5. The sentiment expressed here is found in Romans 5:3. See the notes at that verse. Paul has carried the sentiment out farther, and shows that tribulation produces other effects than patience. James only asks that patience may have its perfect work, supposing that every Christian grace is implied in this.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse James 1:3. The trying of your faith — Trials put religion, and all the graces of which it is composed to proof; the man that stands in such trials gives proof that his religion is sound, and the evidence afforded to his own mind induces him to take courage, bear patiently, and persevere.
