James - Chapter: 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?
2:8	If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
2:9	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.
2:13	For he shall have 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	If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
2:16	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?
2:21	Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
2:22	Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
2:23	And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
2:24	Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
2:25	Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
2:26	For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.


2:1	My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with personal favoritism.
2:2	Because, if there should come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes,
2:3	and you have respect to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor person, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool,"
2:4	have you not shown personal favoritism among yourselves, and have become judges with evil thoughts?
2:5	Listen, my beloved brethren: Has not God also chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
2:6	But you have despised the poor. Do not also the rich oppress you and drag you before the courts?
2:7	Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called?
2:8	If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;
2:9	but if you show personal favoritism, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
2:10	Because, whoever shall keep the entire law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.
2:11	Because, He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
2:12	So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.
2:13	Because, judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. And mercy triumphs over judgment.
2:14	What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
2:15	If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
2:16	and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
2:17	So likewise faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
2:18	Yes, someone may say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
2:19	You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe, and tremble!
2:20	But do you want to know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
2:21	Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
2:22	Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?
2:23	And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness." And he was called the Friend of God.
2:24	You see then how that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
2:25	Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
2:26	Because, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.


2:1	Brethren have not the fayth of oure lorde Iesus Christ the lorde of glory in respecte of persons.
2:2	Yf ther come into youre company a man with a golden rynge and in goodly aparell and ther come in also a poore man in vyle rayment
2:3	and ye have a respecte to him that weareth the gaye clothynge and saye vnto him. Sit thou here in a good place: and saye vnto the poore stonde thou there or sit here vnder my fotestole:
2:4	are ye not parciall in youre selves and have iudged after evyll thoughtes?
2:5	Harken my deare beloved brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde which are ryche in fayth and heyres of the kyngdom which he promysed to them that love him?
2:6	But ye have despised the poore. Are not the rych they which opresse you: and they which drawe you before iudges?
2:7	Do not they speake evyll of that good name after which ye be named.
2:8	Yf ye fulfill the royall lawe accordynge to the scripture which sayth. Thou shallt love thyne neghbour as thy silfe ye do well.
2:9	But yf ye regarde one person more then another ye commit synne and are rebuked of the lawe as transgressours.
2:10	Whosoever shall kepe the whole lawe and yet fayle in one poynt he is gyltie in all.
2:11	For he that sayd. Thou shallt not commit adulterie sayed also: thou shallt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterie yet yf thou kill thou arte a transgresser of the lawe.
2:12	So speake ye and so do as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of libertie.
2:13	For ther shalbe iudgement merciles to him that sheweth no mercy and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement:
2:14	What a vayleth it my brethren though a man saye he hath sayth when he hath no dedes? Can fayth save him?
2:15	If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fode
2:16	and one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace God sende you warmnes and fode: not withstondinge ye geve the not tho thynges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it the?
2:17	Eve so fayth yf it have no dedes is deed in it selfe.
2:18	Ye and a man myght saye: Thou hast fayth and I have dedes: Shewe me thy fayth by thy dedes: and I will shewe the my fayth by my dedes.
2:19	Belevest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The devyls also beleve and tremble.
2:20	Wilt thou vnderstonde o thou vayne man that fayth with out dedes is deed?
2:21	Was not Abraha oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpo the aultre?
2:22	Thou seist how that fayth wrought with his dedes and through the dedes was the fayth made parfect:
2:23	and ye scripture was fulfilled which sayth: Abraham beleved God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called the frede of God.
2:24	Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified and not of fayth only.
2:25	Lyke wyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorow workes when she receaved the messengers and sent the out another waye?
2:26	For as the body with oute the sprete is deed eve so fayth with out dedes is deed
