This is an interesting phrase to have just right out of the blue in James’ writing, and it probably is worth some explanation. James is about to launch into a discussion of who our primary relationship is going to be with: Will that be with God, or will it be with the world.

What I wrote on James’ wall: Very good post. You are right to point out that James is not talking about physical adulterers, but is calling those who are spiritually unfaithful. In light of the Old Testament background you cited, with our understanding of how God sees adultery, we see that our own compromise with God is also unfaithfulness to Him is very heinous. May we not compromise!
