James 5:5 (KJV)
Commentary on James 5:5
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. You lived in luxury (tryphete, τρυφήσατε) and self-indulgence, fattening hearts for day of slaughter. James likens indulgent rich to cattle oblivious to impending judgment.Reformed teaching warns that luxury without mercy dulls spiritual senses. Comfort can lull us into judgment readiness without repentance.
