James - Chapter: 2


2:1	Mi britheren, nyle ye haue the feith of oure Lord Jhesu Crist of glorie, in accepcioun of persoones.
2:2	For if a man `that hath a goldun ring, and in a feire clothing, cometh in youre cumpany, and a pore man entrith in a foul clothing,
2:3	and if ye biholden in to hym that is clothid with clere clothing, and if ye seie to hym, Sitte thou here wel; but to the pore man ye seien, Stonde thou there, ethir sitte vndur the stool of my feet; whether ye demen not anentis you silf,
2:4	and ben maad domesmen of wickid thouytis?
2:5	Heere ye, my moost dereworthe britheren, whethir God chees not pore men in this world, riche in feith, and eiris of the kyngdom, that God bihiyte to men that louen him?
2:6	But ye han dispisid the pore man. Whether riche men oppressen not you bi power, and thei drawen you to domes?
2:7	Whether thei blasfemen not the good name, that is clepid to help on you?
2:8	Netheles if ye performen the kingis lawe, bi scripturis, Thou schalt loue thi neiybour as thi silf, ye don wel.
2:9	But if ye taken persones, ye worchen synne, and ben repreued of the lawe, as trespasseris.
2:10	And who euere kepith al the lawe, but offendith in oon, he is maad gilti of alle.
2:11	For he that seide, Thou schalt do no letcherie, seide also, Thou schalt not sle; that if thou doist not letcherie, but thou sleest, thou art maad trespassour of the lawe.
2:12	Thus speke ye, and thus do ye, as bigynnynge to be demyd bi the lawe of fredom.
2:13	For whi dom with out merci is to hym, that doith no mercy; but merci aboue reisith dom.
2:14	Mi britheren, what schal it profite, if ony man seie that he hath feith, but he hath not the werkis? whether feith schal mowe saue hym?
2:15	And if a brother ethir sister be nakid, and han nede of ech daies lyuelode,
2:16	and if ony of you seie to hem, Go ye in pees, be ye maad hoot, and be ye fillid; but if ye yyuen not to hem tho thingis that ben necessarie to bodi, what schal it profite?
2:17	So also feith, if it hath not werkis, is deed in it silf.
2:18	But summan schal seie, Thou hast feith, and Y haue werkis; schewe thou to me thi feith with out werkis, and Y schal schewe to thee my feith of werkis.
2:19	Thou bileuest, that o God is; thou doist wel; and deuelis bileuen, and tremblen.
2:20	But wolt thou wite, thou veyn man, that feith with out werkis is idul?
2:21	Whether Abraham, oure fadir, was not iustified of werkis, offringe Ysaac, his sone, on the auter?
2:22	Therfor thou seest, that feith wrouyte with hise werkis, and his feith was fillid of werkis.
2:23	And the scripture was fillid, seiynge, Abraham bileuede to God, and it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse, and he was clepid the freend of God.
2:24	Ye seen that a man is iustified of werkis, and not of feith oneli.
2:25	In lijk maner, and whether also Raab, the hoore, was not iustified of werkis, and resseyuede the messangeris, and sente hem out bi anothir weie?
2:26	For as the bodi with out spirit is deed, so also feith with out werkis is deed.


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, 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.
