'Means' in the Bible

A brother of humble means should rejoice in his having been exalted,

And the seed whose fruit is righteousness (spiritual maturity) is sown in peace by those who make peace [by actively encouraging goodwill between individuals].

You adulterers! Don't you know that friendship with the world means hostility with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God.

Or do you think the Scripture means nothing when it says that the Spirit that God caused to live in us jealously yearns for us?
