‏ James 2:15

If a brother or sister be naked ( εαν αδελφος η αδελφη γυμνο υπαρχωσιν ). Condition again of third class (supposable case) with εαν and present active subjunctive of υπαρχω, to exist, in the plural though η (or) is used and not κα (and). Hence γυμνο is masculine plural in the predicate nominative. It does not here mean absolutely naked, but without sufficient clothing as in Mt 25:36ff.; Joh 21:7; Ac 19:16.

In lack of daily food ( λειπομενο της εφημερου τροφης ). Present passive participle of λειπω and ablative case τροφης like λειπετα σοφιας (1:5). The old adjective εφημερος ( ο επ ημεραν ων, that which is for a day) occurs here only in the N.T., though εφημερια (daily routine) is found in Lu 1:5, 8. This phrase occurs in Diodorus, but not in LXX.
