Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: |
Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, |
But let the brother of humble circumstances glory in his high position; |
The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. |
Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his elevation [as a Christian, called to the true riches and to be an heir of God], |
Moreover, let the brother who is in lowly circumstances [poor and afflicted] be glorying in his exalted position [namely, in the midst of trials which teach him patience]. |
The brother who is poor may be proud because God has raised him to the true riches. |
Let the poor brother of lowly station rejoice in his exalted station as a Christian, |
[But] ( 1161 ) Let the 3588 brother 80 of low degree 5011 rejoice 2744 in 1722 that he 848 is exalted: 5311 |
