James 2




emtv@James:2:1 @ My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.

emtv@James:2:2 @ For if a man enters into your assembly with a gold ring, in fine clothes, and there should also come in a poor [man] in dirty clothes,

emtv@James:2:3 @ and you have respect for him that wears the fine clothes and you say to him, "You sit here in a good seat,"and say to the poor man, "You stand there,"or, "Sit here under my footstool,"

emtv@James:2:4 @ and so did you not differentiate among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

emtv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?

emtv@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into court?

emtv@James:2:7 @ Do they not blaspheme the noble name by which you are called?

emtv@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"you do well;

emtv@James:2:9 @ but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

emtv@James:2:10 @ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he has become guilty of all.

emtv@James:2:11 @ For He who said, "Do not commit adultery,"also said, "You shall not murder."Now if you do not commit adultery, but [yet ]you murder, [then ]you have become a transgressor of the law.

emtv@James:2:12 @ So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.

emtv@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to the one who does not show mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

emtv@James:2:14 @ What does it profit, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Is that [kind of] faith able to save him?

emtv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

emtv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled,"but you do not give them the necessary things of the body, what [is] the benefit?

emtv@James:2:17 @ Thus also that faith, if it does not have works, is dead, [being] by itself.

emtv@James:2:18 @ But 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 means of my works.

emtv@James:2:19 @ You believe God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe-and they shudder!

emtv@James:2:20 @ But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

emtv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

emtv@James:2:22 @ Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by means of his works faith was made perfect?

emtv@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."And he was called a friend of God.

emtv@James:2:24 @ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

emtv@James:2:25 @ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by means of works, when she received the messengers and sent [them] out another way?

emtv@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
