James 1:9 in Context — James 1

7 Qu’un tel homme ne s’imagine pas qu’il recevra quelque chose du Seigneur:

8 c’est un homme irrésolu, inconstant dans toutes ses voies.

9 Que le frère de condition humble se glorifie de son élévation.

10 Que le riche, au contraire, se glorifie de son humiliation; car il passera comme la fleur de l’herbe.

11 Le soleil s’est levé avec sa chaleur ardente, il a desséché l’herbe, sa fleur est tombée, et la beauté de son aspect a disparu: ainsi le riche se flétrira dans ses entreprises.
