Exegesis
The coordinate verb helkousin {ἕλκουσιν | hél-kou-sin} ‘they drag’ is joined by kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ and reinforced by autoi {αὐτοὶ | au-toí} ‘they themselves’, underscoring parallelism between social tyranny and legal coercion.
In context — James 2:6
But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich men the ones who oppress you and who drag you into courts ?
