   • God is the source of all wisdom. The Greek word for wisdom (sophia) occurs four times in the letter of James (1:5; 3:13, 15, 17).

   • Material things will not last. The poor, without material resources, have also received the riches of God’s grace in Christ. Furthermore, the rich and poor are alike in another way—both will pass away.
