My apology. Question was not made on it.

Rewriting James 1:9-11

9  KAUCASQW DE hO ADELFOS hO TAPEINOS
EN TW hUYEI AUTOU

10 hO DE PLOUSIOS EN TH TAPEINWSEI AUTOU
hOTI hWS ANQOS CORTOU PARELEUSETAI

11 ANETEILEN GAR hO hHLIOS SUN TW KAUSWNI
KAI EXHRANEN TON CORTON
KAI TO ANQOS AUTOU EXEPESEN
KAI hH EUPREPEIA TOU PROSWPOU AUTOU APWLETO
hOUTWS KAI hO PLOUSIOS EN TAIS POREIAIS AUTOU MARANQHSETAI

My question is:

While hO PLOUSIOS (masculine, singular) in verse 10 means hO ADELFOS
ho PLOUSIOS (the rich brother) in contrast to the humble brother, I
like to take the same hO PLOUSIOS in verse 11 (on the last line) as
'the rich thing' i.e. the wealth (which shall fade away like grass and
flower).

Is there anything grammatically to tell me it should read as 'the rich
person' himself being fade way,not as 'the rich thing'?
