James 2
1. My brethren <0080-adephos->, have <2192-echo-> not the faith
<4102-pistis-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->
Christ <5547-Christos->, [the Lord] of glory <1391-doxa->, with
respect <4382-prosopolepsia-> of persons <4382-prosopolepsia->.
2 For if <1437-ean-> there come <1525-eiserchomai-> unto your
<5216-humon-> assembly <4864-sunagoge-> a man <0435-aner-> with
a gold <5554-chrusodaktulios-> ring <5554-chrusodaktulios->, in
goodly <2986-lampros-> apparel <2066-esthes->, and there come
<1525-eiserchomai-> in also <2532-kai-> a poor <4434-ptochos->
man in vile <4508-rhuparos-> raiment <2066-esthes->;
3 And ye have respect <1914-epiblepo-> to him that weareth
<5409-phoreo-> the gay <2986-lampros-> clothing <2066-esthes->,
and say <2036-epo-> unto him, Sit <2521-kathemai-> thou here
<5602-hode-> in a good <2573-kalos-> place; and say <2036-epo->
to the poor <4434-ptochos->, Stand <2476-histemi-> thou there
<1563-ekei->, or <2228-e-> sit <2521-kathemai-> here <5602-hode-
> under <5259-hupo-> my footstool <5286-hupopodion->:
4 Are ye not then <2532-kai-> partial <1252-diakrino-> in
yourselves <1438-heautou->, and are become <1096-ginomai->
judges <2923-krites-> of evil <4190-poneros-> thoughts <1261-
dialogismos->?
5 Hearken <0191-akouo->, my beloved <0027-agapetos-> brethren
<0080-adephos->, Hath not God <2316-theos-> chosen <1586-
eklegomai-> the poor <4434-ptochos-> of this <5127-toutou->
world <2889-kosmos-> rich <4145-plousios-> in faith <4102-pistis-
>, and heirs <2818-kleronomos-> of the kingdom <0932-basileia->
which <3735-oros-> he hath promised <1861-epaggello-> to them
that love <0025-agapao-> him?
6 But ye have despised <0818-atimazo-> the poor <4434-ptochos->.
Do not rich <4145-plousios-> men oppress <2616-katadunasteuo->
you, and draw <1670-helkuo-> you before <1519-eis-> the judgment
<2922-kriterion-> seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme <0987-blasphemeo-> that worthy <2570-
kalos-> name <3686-onoma-> by the which <3588-ho-> ye are called
<1941-epikaleomai->?
8. If <1487-ei-> ye fulfil <5055-teleo-> the royal <0937-
basilikos-> law <3551-nomos-> according <2596-kata-> to the
scripture <1124-graphe->, Thou shalt love <0025-agapao-> thy
neighbour <4139-plesion-> as thyself <4572-seautou->, ye do
<4160-poieo-> well <2573-kalos->:
9 But if <1487-ei-> ye have respect <4380-prosopolepteo-> to
persons <4380-prosopolepteo->, ye commit <2038-ergazomai-> sin
<0266-hamartia->, and are convinced <1651-elegcho-> of the law
<3551-nomos-> as transgressors <3848-parabates->.
10 For whosoever <3748-hostis-> shall keep <5083-tereo-> the
whole <3650-holos-> law <3551-nomos->, and yet offend <4417-
ptaio-> in one <1520-heis-> [point], he is guilty <1777-enochos-
> of all <3956-pas->.
11 For he that said <2036-epo->, Do not commit <3431-moicheuo->
adultery <3431-moicheuo->, said <2036-epo-> also <2532-kai->, Do
not kill <5407-phoneuo->. Now <1161-de-> if <1487-ei-> thou
commit <3431-moicheuo-> no <3756-ou-> adultery <3431-moicheuo->,
yet <1161-de-> if thou kill <5407-phoneuo->, thou art become
<1096-ginomai-> a transgressor <3848-parabates-> of the law
<3551-nomos->.
12 So <3779-houto-> speak <2980-laleo-> ye, and so <3779-houto-
> do <4160-poieo->, as they that shall be judged <2919-krino->
by the law <3551-nomos-> of liberty <1657-eleutheria->.
13 For he shall have judgment <2920-krisis-> without <0448-
anileos-> mercy <0448-anileos->, that hath shewed <4160-poieo->
no <3361-me-> mercy <1656-eleos->; and mercy <1656-eleos->
rejoiceth <2620-katakauchaomai-> against <2620-katakauchaomai->
judgment <2920-krisis->.
14. What <5101-tis-> [doth it] profit <3786-ophelos->, my
brethren <0080-adephos->, though <1437-ean-> a man <5100-tis->
say <3004-lego-> he hath <2192-echo-> faith <4102-pistis->, and
have <2192-echo-> not works <2041-ergon->? can <1410-dunamai->
faith <4102-pistis-> save <4982-sozo-> him?
15 If <1437-ean-> a brother <0080-adephos-> or <2228-e-> sister
<0079-adelphe-> be naked <1131-gumnos->, and destitute <3007-
leipo-> of daily <2184-ephemeros-> food <5160-trophe->,
16 And one <5100-tis-> of you say <2036-epo-> unto them, Depart
<5217-hupago-> in peace <1515-eirene->, be [ye] warmed <2328-
thermaino-> and filled <5526-chortazo->; notwithstanding ye give
<1325-didomi-> them not those <3588-ho-> things which are
needful <2006-epitedeios-> to the body <4983-soma->; what <5101-
tis-> [doth it] profit <3786-ophelos->?
17 Even <2532-kai-> so <3779-houto-> faith <4102-pistis->, if
<1437-ean-> it hath <2192-echo-> not works <2041-ergon->, is
dead <3498-nekros->, being alone <2596-kata->.
18 Yea <0235-alla->, a man <5100-tis-> may say <2046-ereo->,
Thou hast <2192-echo-> faith <4102-pistis->, and I have works
<2041-ergon->: shew <1166-deiknuo-> me thy faith <4102-pistis->
without <5565-choris-> thy works <2041-ergon->, and I will shew
<1166-deiknuo-> thee my faith <4102-pistis-> by my works <2041-
ergon->.
19 Thou believest <4100-pisteuo-> that there is one <1520-heis-
> God <2316-theos->; thou doest <4160-poieo-> well <2573-kalos->:
the devils <1140-daimonion-> also <2532-kai-> believe <4100-
pisteuo->, and tremble <5425-phrisso->.
20 But wilt <2309-thelo-> thou know <1097-ginosko->, O vain
<2756-kenos-> man <0444-anthropos->, that faith <4102-pistis->
without <5565-choris-> works <2041-ergon-> is dead <3498-nekros-
>?
21 Was not Abraham <0011-Abraam->our father <3962-pater->
justified <1344-dikaioo-> by works <2041-ergon->, when he had
offered <0399-anaphero-> Isaac <2464-Isaak-> his son <5207-huios-
> upon the altar <2379-thusiasterion->?
22 Seest <0991-blepo-> thou how <3754-hoti-> faith <4102-pistis-
> wrought <4903-sunergeo-> with his works <2041-ergon->, and by
works <2041-ergon-> was faith <4102-pistis-> made <5048-teleioo-
> perfect <5048-teleioo->?
23 And the scripture <1124-graphe-> was fulfilled <4137-pleroo-
> which <3588-ho-> saith <3004-lego->, Abraham <0011-Abraam-
>believed <4100-pisteuo-> God <2316-theos->, and it was imputed
<3049-logizomai-> unto him for righteousness <1343-dikaiosune->:
and he was called <2564-kaleo-> the Friend <5384-philos-> of God
<2316-theos->.
24 Ye see <3708-horao-> then <5106-toinun-> how that by works
<2041-ergon-> a man <0444-anthropos-> is justified <1344-dikaioo-
>, and not by faith <4102-pistis-> only <3440-monon->.
25 Likewise <3668-homoios-> also <2532-kai-> was not Rahab
<4460-Rhaab-> the harlot <4204-porne-> justified <1344-dikaioo->
by works <2041-ergon->, when she had received <5264-hupodechomai-
> the messengers <0032-aggelos->, and had sent <1524-eiseimi->
[them] out another <2087-heteros-> way <3598-hodos->?
26 For as the body <4983-soma-> without <5565-choris-> the
spirit <4151-pneuma-> is dead <3498-nekros->, so <3779-houto->
faith <4102-pistis-> without <5565-choris-> works <2041-ergon->
is dead <3498-nekros-> also <2532-kai->.
