JAM 2:1
James 2:1
|
|
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:2
James 2:2
|
|
For 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; |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:3
James 2:3
|
|
And 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: |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:4
James 2:4
|
|
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are
become judges of evil thoughts? |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:5
James 2:5
|
|
Hearken, 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? |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:6
James 2:6
|
|
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men
oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:7
James 2:7
|
|
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the
which ye are called? |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:8
James 2:8
|
|
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the
scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:9
James 2:9
|
|
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit
sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:10
James 2:10
|
|
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:11
James 2:11
|
|
For 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. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:12
James 2:12
|
|
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be
judged by the law of liberty. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:13
James 2:13
|
|
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that
hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:14
James 2:14
|
|
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man
say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:15
James 2:15
|
|
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute
of daily food, |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:16
James 2:16
|
|
And 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? |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:17
James 2:17
|
|
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead,
being alone. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:18
James 2:18
|
|
Yea, 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. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:19
James 2:19
|
|
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest
well: the devils also believe, and tremble. |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:20
James 2:20
|
|
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead? |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 2:21
James 2:21
|
|
Was not Abraham our father justified by works,
when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:22
James 2:22
|
|
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works,
and by works was faith made perfect? |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:23
James 2:23
|
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:24
James 2:24
|
|
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified,
and not by faith only. |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:25
James 2:25
|
|
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified
by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another
way? |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 2:26
James 2:26
|
|
For as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without works is dead also. |
| |
