James - Chapter: 2


2:1	My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,
2:2	for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,
2:3	and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou -- sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, `Thou -- stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' --
2:4	ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges.
2:5	Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?
2:6	and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;
2:7	do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?
2:8	If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' -- ye do well;
2:9	and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;
2:10	for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one `point', he hath become guilty of all;
2:11	for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,' said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;' and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law;
2:12	so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,
2:13	for the judgment without kindness `is' to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.
2:14	What `is' the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?
2:15	and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,
2:16	and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what `is' the profit?
2:17	so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.
2:18	But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:
2:19	thou -- thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!
2:20	And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?
2:21	Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?
2:22	dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected?
2:23	and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called.
2:24	Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only;
2:25	and in like manner also Rahab the harlot -- was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth?
2:26	for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.


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


2:1	Brethren, haue not the faith of oure LORDE Iesus Christ ye LORDE of glory in respecte of persons.
2:2	Yf ther come in to yor copany a ma wt a golde rynge and in goodly aparell, & ther come in also a poore man in vyle raymet,
2:3	& ye haue a respecte to him yt weareth the gaye clothinge & saye vnto hi: Sit thou here i a good place, & saye vnto ye poore, stonde thou there or sit here vnder my fote stole:
2:4	are ye not parciall in youre selues, and haue iudged after euyll thoughtes?
2:5	Harken my deare beloued brethre. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde, which are ryche in faith, and heyres of the kyngdom which he promysed to the that loue him?
2:6	But ye haue despised the poore. Are not the rych they which oppresse you: & they which drawe you before iudges?
2:7	Do not they speake euell of that good name after which ye be named.
2:8	Yf ye fulfill the royall lawe acordinge to the scripture which saith: Thou shalt loue thyne neghbour as thyselfe, ye do well.
2:9	But yf ye regarde one person more then another, ye comit synne, and are rebuked of the lawe as trsagressours.
2:10	Whosoeuer shal kepe the whole lawe, and yet fayle in one poynt, he is gyltie in all.
2:11	For he that sayde: Thou shalt not commit adulterie, sayed also: thou shalt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterie, yet yf thou kill, thou art 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, & mercy reioiseth against iudgment.
2:14	What a vayleth it my brethre, though a man saye he hath faith, when he hath no dedes? Can faith saue him?
2:15	If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fode,
2:16	& one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace, God sende you warmnes and fode: notwithstodinge ye geue them not tho thinges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it them?
2:17	Euen so faith, yf it haue no dedes, is deed in it selfe.
2:18	Ye & a man might saye: Thou hast faith, and I haue dedes: Shewe me thy faith by thy dedes: and I wil shewe the my faith by my dedes.
2:19	Beleuest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The deuils also beleue and tremble.
2:20	Wilt thou vnderstode o thou vayne man that faith with out dedes is deed:
2:21	Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter?
2:22	Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect:
2:23	& the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God.
2:24	Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only
2:25	Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye?
2:26	For as the body, with oute the sprete is deed, euen so faith wt out dedes is deed.
