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