7Ninguno de ellos podrá en manera alguna redimir al hermano, Ni dar á Dios su rescate.

(1 P. 1:18‑19)
the poor.
 The verse is confessedly ambiguous. Various renderings give little help. The thought seems to be that riches are the confidence of their possessor. He therefore can haughtily scorn the one who would reprove him. But the indigent is crushed by a rebuke, having no spirit left to enable him to stand against it. Both are natural men, apparently. (Proverbs Thirteen by H.A. Ironside)

The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; but the indigent heareth not rebuke.
