“Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.”
King James Version (KJV)
5:6 Ye have killed the just - Many just men; in particular, that Just One, #Acts 3:14|. They afterwards killed James, surnamed the Just, the writer of this epistle. He doth not resist you - And therefore you are secure. But the Lord cometh quickly, #Jas 5:8|.
Jas 5:6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just. The murder of the Just One, Jesus, was the crowning sin of Israel which brought upon them destruction. It was the rich and influential, not the poor, who sought his death. [And] he doth not resist you. Compare Isa 53:7.
