Exegesis
The adverbs hode {ὧδε | hôde} “here” and ekei {ἐκεῖ | ekêi} “there,” along with the phrase hypo to hypopodion mou {ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου | hypò tò hupopódion mou} “under my footstool,” create a stark spatial and social contrast. The juxtaposition of moods and commands powerfully illustrates partiality.
In context — James 2:3
And if you turn your attention to the one wearing the splendid garment and say, “You, sit here in a good place,” but to the poor man you say, “You, stand,” or, “Sit there under my footstool.”
