“The brightness of Christ is so great that it easily extinguishes all the glories
of the world, if indeed it irradiates our eyes.

It hence follows, that Christ is little esteemed by us, when the admiration of worldly
glory lays hold on us.”

–John Calvin, [_Commentaries on the Catholic Epistles_](https://amzn.to/453CV7M)(
Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software, 2010), 301. Calvin is commenting on **James
2:1**.
