James 2
2My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.G3450G80G2192G3361G4102G2257G2962G2424G5547G1391G1722G43822For 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;G1063G1437G1525G1519G5216G4864G435G5554G1722G2986G2066G1161G1525G2532G4434G1722G4508G20663And 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:G2532G1914G1909G5409G2986G2066G2532G2036G846G2521G4771G5602G2573G2532G2036G4434G2476G4771G1563G2228G2521G5602G5259G3450G52864Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?G1252G3756G2532G1252G1722G1438G2532G1096G2923G4190G12615Hearken, 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?G191G3450G27G80G1586G3756G2316G1586G4434G5127G2889G4145G1722G4102G2532G2818G932G3739G1861G25G8466But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?G1161G5210G818G4434G2616G3756G4145G2616G5216G2532G846G1670G5209G1519G29227Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?G987G3756G846G987G2570G3686G1909G5209G19418If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:G1487G3305G5055G937G3551G2596G1124G25G4675G4139G5613G4572G4160G25739But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.G1161G1487G4380G2038G266G1651G5259G3551G5613G384810For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.G1063G3748G5083G3650G3551G1161G4417G1722G1520G1096G1777G395611For 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.G1063G2036G3431G3361G3431G2036G2532G5407G3361G5407G1161G1487G3431G3756G3431G1161G5407G1096G3848G355112So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.G3779G2980G2532G3779G4160G5613G3195G2919G1223G3551G165713For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.G1063G2920G448G4160G3361G1656G2532G1656G2620G292014What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?G5101G3786G3450G80G1437G5100G3004G2192G4102G1161G2192G3361G2041G1410G3361G4102G4982G84615If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,G1437G1161G80G2228G79G5225G1131G2532G3007G5600G2184G516016And 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?G1161G5100G1537G5216G2036G846G5217G1722G1515G2328G2532G5526G1161G1325G846G3361G2006G4983G5101G378617Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.G2532G3779G4102G3362G2192G3362G2041G2076G3498G2596G143818Yea, 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.G235G5100G2046G4771G2192G4102G2504G2192G2041G1166G3427G4675G4102G1537G4675G2041G2504G1166G4671G3450G4102G1537G3450G204119Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.G4771G4100G3754G2076G1520G2316G4160G2573G1140G2532G4100G2532G542520But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?G1161G2309G1097G5599G2756G444G3754G4102G5565G2041G2076G349821Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?G1344G3756G11G2257G3962G1344G1537G2041G399G2464G846G5207G1909G237922Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?G991G3754G4102G4903G846G2041G2532G1537G2041G5048G4102G504823And 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.G2532G1124G4137G3004G1161G11G4100G2316G2532G3049G846G1519G1343G2532G2564G5384G231624Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.G3708G5106G3754G1537G2041G444G1344G2532G3756G1537G4102G344025Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?G3668G1161G2532G1344G3756G4460G4204G1344G1537G2041G5264G32G2532G1544G2087G359826For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.G1063G5618G4983G5565G4151G2076G3498G3779G4102G5565G2041G2076G3498G2532
