( cf . 1:9 ) Second , Are not the rich the ones who are consistently guilty of oppression, extortion, and slander ( blasphēmousin , 2:7 , lit. , “blasphemy” ). Third , Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Fourth , Are they not the ones who slander Jesus’ noble name? Believers belong to Him, not to the rich exploiters.
