James 2
|
- 2:1
My
brethren,
have
not the
faith of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ, the Lord of
glory,
with respect of
persons.
|
- 2:2
For
if there
come
unto
your
assembly a
man with a gold
ring,
in
goodly
apparel,
and there come
in
also a poor
man
in
vile
raiment;
|
- 2:3
And ye have
respect
to him that
weareth the
gay
clothing,
and
say unto
him,
Sit
thou
here in a good
place;
and
say to the
poor,
Stand
thou
there,
or
sit
here
under
my
footstool:
|
- 2:4 Are
ye
not
then
partial
in
yourselves,
and are
become
judges of
evil
thoughts?
|
- 2:5
Hearken,
my
beloved
brethren,
Hath
not
God
chosen the
poor of
this
world
rich
in
faith,
and
heirs of the
kingdom
which he hath
promised to them that
love
him?
|
- 2:6
But
ye have
despised the
poor.
Do
not rich
men
oppress
you,
and
draw
*
you
before the judgment
seats?
|
- 2:7
Do
not
they
blaspheme that
worthy
name
by the which
ye are
called ?

If
ye
fulfil the
royal
law according
to the
scripture, Thou shalt
love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself, ye
do
well:

But
if ye have respect to
persons, ye
commit
sin, and are
convinced
of the
law
as
transgressors.
|
- 2:10
For
whosoever shall
keep the
whole
law, and
yet
offend
in
one point, he
is
guilty of
all.
|
- 2:11
For he that
said,
Do
not commit
adultery,
said
also,
Do
not
kill.
Now
if thou
commit
no
adultery, yet
if thou
kill, thou art
become a
transgressor of the
law.
|
- 2:12
So speak
ye,
and
so
do,
as they that shall
be
judged
by the
law of
liberty.
|

judgment without
mercy, that hath
shewed
no
mercy;
and
mercy rejoiceth
against
judgment.
|
- 2:14
What doth it
profit,
my
brethren,
though a
man
say he
hath
faith,
and
have
not
works?
can
*
faith
save
him?
|
- 2:15

a
brother
or

be

daily
food,

And
one
of
you
say unto
them,
Depart
in
peace, be ye
warmed
and
filled;
notwithstanding ye
give
them
not those things which are
needful to the
body;
what doth it
profit?
|
- 2:17
Even
so
faith,
if it
hath
not
works,
is
dead, being
alone
*.
|
- 2:18
Yea, a
man may
say,
Thou
hast
faith, and
I
have
works:
shew
me
thy
faith
without
thy
works, and
I will
shew
thee
my
faith
by
my
works.
|
- 2:19
Thou
believest
that there
is
one
God; thou
doest
well: the
devils
also
believe,
and
tremble.
|
- 2:20
But
wilt thou
know,
O
vain
man,
that
faith
without
works
is
dead?
|

Was
not
Abraham
our
father
justified
by
works, when he had

thou
how
faith
wrought with
his
works,
and
by
works
was
faith made
perfect ?

scripture was
fulfilled which
saith
*,
Abraham
believed
God,

for
righteousness:

see
then how
that
by
works a
man is
justified,
and
not
by
faith
only.

- 2:26
For
as the
body
without the
spirit
is
dead,
so
faith
without
works
is
dead
also.
