James - Chapter: 2


2:1	Brethren haue not the faythe of oure Lorde Iesus Christe the Lorde of glorye in respect of persons.
2:2	If there come into your company a man wyth a golden ring and in goodly apparell, and there come in also a pore man in vyle raymente,
2:3	and ye haue a respecte to hym that weareth the gaye clothynge, and saye vnto hym. Sitte thou here in a good place: and saye vnto the pore, stande thou there, or sitte here vnder my fotestole:
2:4	are ye not parcyall in your selues, and haue iudged after euyll thoughtes?
2:5	Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the pore of thys world, which are ryche in faythe, and heyres of the kyngedome whiche he promysed to them that loue hym?
2:6	But ye haue despysed the pore. Are not the ryche they whiche oppresse you: and they which drawe you before iudges?
2:7	Do not they speake euyll of the good name after whiche ye be named?
2:8	Yf ye fulfyll the royall lawe accordynge to the scripture whiche sayeth. Thou shalte loue thyne neyghboure as thy self, ye do wel.
2:9	But yf ye regarde one personne more then another, ye commytte sinne, and are rebuked of the lawe as transgressours.
2:10	Whosoeuer shall kepe the whole lawe, and yet fayle in one point he is gyltye in all.
2:11	For he that sayde: Thou shalte not committe adultery, sayed also, thou shalte not kyll. Thoughe thou do none adulterye: yet yf thou kyll, thou arte a transgresser of the lawe.
2:12	So speake ye, and so do, as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of lybertye.
2:13	For there shalbe iudgemente mercyles to hym, that sheweth no mercy, & mercy reioyseth against iudgemente.
2:14	What auayleth it my brethren, thoughe a man saye he hath faythe, when he hath no deedes? Can fayth saue hym?
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 wyth standynge ye geue them not those thynges which are nedefull to the bodye: what helpeth it them?
2:17	Euen so faythe, yf it haue no dedes is dead in it selfe.
2:18	Yea and a man myghte saye: Thou haste faythe, and I haue dedes: Shewe me thy faith by thy dedes, and I wyll shew the my faythe by my dedes.
2:19	Beleuest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The deuyls also beleue and tremble.
2:20	Wylt thou vnderstande (O thou vayne man) that fayth without dedes is dead?
2:21	Was not Abraham oure father iustifyed thorowe workes when he offered Isaac hys sonne vpon the aultare?
2:22	Thou seyste howe that faythe wroughte wyth hys dedes, & through the dedes was faythe made perfecte:
2:23	and the scrypture was fulfylled whiche sayeth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghtuousnes: and he was called the frende of God.
2:24	Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustifyed, and not of fayth onely.
2:25	Lykewyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorowe workes, when she receyued the messengers, and sente them out another way?
2:26	For as the bodye, without the spyryte is dead euen so fayth wythout dedes is dead.


2:1	My brethren, haue not the faith of our glorious Lord Iesus Christ in respect of persons.
2:2	For if there come into your company a man with a golde ring, and in goodly apparell, and there come in also a poore man in vile raiment,
2:3	And ye haue a respect to him that weareth the gaie clothing; and say vnto him, Sit thou here in a goodly place, and say vnto the poore, Stand thou there, or sit here vnder my footestoole,
2:4	Are yee not partiall in your selues, and are become iudges of euill thoughts?
2:5	Hearken my beloued brethren, hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde, that they should be rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome which he promised to them that loue him?
2:6	But ye haue despised the poore. Doe not the riche oppresse you by tyrannie, and doe not they drawe you before the iudgement seates?
2:7	Doe nor they blaspheme the worthie Name after which yee be named?
2:8	But if yee fulfill the royall Lawe according to the Scripture, which saith, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, yee doe well.
2:9	But if yee regarde the persons, yee commit sinne, and are rebuked of the Lawe, as transgressours.
2:10	For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Lawe, and yet faileth in one poynt, hee is guiltie of all.
2:11	For he that saide, Thou shalt not commit adulterie, saide also, Thou shalt not kill. Nowe though thou doest none adulterie, yet if thou killest, thou art a transgressour of the Lawe.
2:12	So speake ye, and so doe, as they that shall be iudged by the Lawe of libertie.
2:13	For there shalbe condemnation merciles to him that sheweth not mercie, and mercie reioyceth against condemnation.
2:14	What auaileth it, my brethren, though a man saith he hath faith, when he hath no workes? can that faith saue him?
2:15	For if a brother or a sister bee naked and destitute of daily foode,
2:16	And one of you say vnto them, Depart in peace: warme your selues, and fil your bellies, notwithstading ye giue them not those things which are needefull to the body, what helpeth it?
2:17	Euen so the faith, if it haue no woorkes, is dead in it selfe.
2:18	But some man might say, Thou hast the faith, and I haue woorkes: shewe me thy faith out of thy woorkes, and I will shewe thee my faith by my woorkes.
2:19	Thou beleeuest that there is one God: thou doest well: the deuils also beleeue it, and tremble.
2:20	But wilt thou vnderstand, O thou vaine man, that the faith which is without workes, is dead?
2:21	Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he offred Isaac his sonne vpon the altar?
2:22	Seest thou not that the faith wrought with his workes? and through the workes was the faith made perfect.
2:23	And the Scripture was fulfilled which sayeth, Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed vnto him for righteousnesse: and hee was called the friende of God.
2:24	Ye see then howe that of workes a man is iustified, and not of faith onely.
2:25	Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receiued ye messengers, and sent them out another way?
2:26	For as the body without ye spirit is dead, euen so the faith without workes is dead.


2:1	My brethren, haue not the faith of our Lord Iesus Christ the Lord of glorie, with respect of persons.
2:2	For if there come vnto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poore man, in vile raiment:
2:3	And yee haue respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say vnto him, Sit thou here in a good place: and say to the poore, Stand thou there, or sit here vnder my footstoole:
2:4	Are yee not then partiall in your selues, and are become iudges of euill thoughts?
2:5	Hearken, my beloued brethren, Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome, which hee hath promised to them that loue him?
2:6	But yee haue despised the poore. Doe not rich men oppresse you, and draw you before the Iudgement seats?
2:7	Doe not they blaspheme that worthy Name, by the which ye are called?
2:8	If ye fulfil the royall Law, according to the Scripture, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, ye doe well.
2:9	But if ye haue respect to persons, ye commit sinne, and are conuinced of the Law, as transgressours.
2:10	For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Law, & yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
2:11	For he that said, Doe not commit adultery; sayd also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressour of the Law.
2:12	So speake ye, and so doe, as they that shall bee iudged by the Law of libertie.
2:13	For he shall haue iudgement without mercie, that hath shewed no mercy, & mercie reioyceth against iudgement.
2:14	What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say hee hath faith, and haue not workes? can faith saue him?
2:15	If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of dayly foode,
2:16	And one of you say vnto them, Depart in peace, be you warmed & filled: notwithstanding ye giue them not those things which are needfull to the body: what doth it profit?
2:17	Euen so faith, if it hath not works, is dead being alone.
2:18	Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I haue workes: shew mee thy faith without thy workes, and I will shew thee my faith by my workes.
2:19	Thou beleeuest that there is one God, thou doest well: the deuils also beleeue, and tremble.
2:20	But wilt thou knowe, O vaine man, that faith without workes is dead?
2:21	Was not Abraham our father iustified by works, when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon 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 fullfiled which saith, Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed vnto him for righteousnes: and he was called the friend of God.
2:24	Ye see then, how that by workes a man is iustified, and not by faith only.
2:25	Likewise also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified by works, when she had receiued the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
2:26	For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without workes is dead also.
