Exegesis
The passage begins with the coordinated noun phrase chrysos hymon kai argyros {χρυσὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ἄργυρος | chrysós hymon kaí ár-gu-ros} “your gold and silver,” with the article ho repeated to link each precious metal to the possessive hymon.
In context — James 5:3
Your gold and your silver have become corroded, and their rust will serve as a witness against you and will devour your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days .
