The Sin of Partiality

2My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.G3450G80G2192G3361G4102G2257G2962G2424G5547G1391G1722G4382 2For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,G1063G1437G1525G1519G5216G4864G435G5554G1722G2986G2066G1161G1525G2532G4434G1722G4508G2066 3and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "You sit here in a good place," while you say to the poor man, "You stand over there," or, "Sit down at my feet,"G2532G1914G1909G5409G2986G2066G2532G2036G846G2521G4771G5602G2573G2532G2036G4434G2476G4771G1563G2228G2521G5602G5259G3450G5286 4have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?G1252G3756G2532G1252G1722G1438G2532G1096G2923G4190G1261 5Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?G191G3450G27G80G1586G3756G2316G1586G4434G5127G2889G4145G1722G4102G2532G2818G932G3739G1861G25G846 6But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?G1161G5210G818G4434G2616G3756G4145G2616G5216G2532G846G1670G5209G1519G2922 7Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?G987G3756G846G987G2570G3686G1909G5209G1941 8If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.G1487G3305G5055G937G3551G2596G1124G25G4675G4139G5613G4572G4160G2573 9But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.G1161G1487G4380G2038G266G1651G5259G3551G5613G3848 10For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.G1063G3748G5083G3650G3551G1161G4417G1722G1520G1096G1777G3956 11For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.G1063G2036G3431G3361G3431G2036G2532G5407G3361G5407G1161G1487G3431G3756G3431G1161G5407G1096G3848G3551 12So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.G3779G2980G2532G3779G4160G5613G3195G2919G1223G3551G1657 13For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.G1063G2920G448G4160G3361G1656G2532G1656G2620G2920

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?G5101G3786G3450G80G1437G5100G3004G2192G4102G1161G2192G3361G2041G1410G3361G4102G4982G846 15If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,G1437G1161G80G2228G79G5225G1131G2532G3007G5600G2184G5160 16and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?G1161G5100G1537G5216G2036G846G5217G1722G1515G2328G2532G5526G1161G1325G846G3361G2006G4983G5101G3786 17So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.G2532G3779G4102G3362G2192G3362G2041G2076G3498G2596G1438 18But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.G235G5100G2046G4771G2192G4102G2504G2192G2041G1166G3427G4675G4102G1537G4675G2041G2504G1166G4671G3450G4102G1537G3450G2041 19You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!G4771G4100G3754G2076G1520G2316G4160G2573G1140G2532G4100G2532G5425 20Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?G1161G2309G1097G5599G2756G444G3754G4102G5565G2041G2076G3498 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?G1344G3756G11G2257G3962G1344G1537G2041G399G2464G846G5207G1909G2379 22You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;G991G3754G4102G4903G846G2041G2532G1537G2041G5048G4102G5048 23and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"—and he was called a friend of God.G2532G1124G4137G3004G1161G11G4100G2316G2532G3049G846G1519G1343G2532G2564G5384G2316 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.G3708G5106G3754G1537G2041G444G1344G2532G3756G1537G4102G3440 25And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?G3668G1161G2532G1344G3756G4460G4204G1344G1537G2041G5264G32G2532G1544G2087G3598 26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.G1063G5618G4983G5565G4151G2076G3498G3779G4102G5565G2041G2076G3498G2532
