He is a double-minded man The phrase "double-minded" comes from the Greek word "dipsuchos," which literally means "two-souled" or "two-spirited." This term is unique to the New Testament and appears only in the book of James. It describes a person who is divided in their loyalties or affections, particularly between God and the world. In a historical context, this reflects the early Christian struggle to maintain faith amidst a pagan society. The double-minded man is one who wavers in his faith, unable to commit fully to God. This concept is echoed in the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized the importance of serving one master (Matthew 6:24). The call here is for believers to have a singular focus on God, aligning their hearts and minds with His will. unstable in all his ways Greek [He is] a double-mindedδίψυχος (dipsychos) Adjective - Nominative Masculine Singular Strong's 1374: (lit: of two souls, of two selves), double-minded, wavering.
