James 5:1-6

1:21 - This would be the challenge to the non-believing rich - to put away their lifestyle and receive the truth of God's Word

2:1-13 - this talks about how to treat the poor, as God would, and the blessings for having the right attitude toward God. The non-believing rich are doing the opposite and have put themselves in a place where they will be shown no mercy.

3:14 - bitter jealousy and selfish ambition are key character traits of the non-believing rich

4:1-4 - this describes the non-believing rich perfectly, as they strive after their own desires, even at the expense of others. They are truly enemies of God.

5:8 - the coming of the Lord, which is an encouragement for the suffering believers, is really a terrifying judgment for the non-believing rich
