updv@James:2:1 @ My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

updv@James:2:2 @ For if there comes into your(note:){+}(:note) synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there comes in also a poor man in vile clothing;

updv@James:2:3 @ and you(note:){+}(:note) have regard to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, You sit here in a good place; and you{+} say to the poor man, You stand there, or sit under my footstool;

updv@James:2:4 @ Don't you(note:){+}(:note) make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

updv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brothers; did not God choose those who are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

updv@James:2:6 @ But you(note:){+}(:note) have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you{+}, and themselves drag you{+} into court?

updv@James:2:7 @ Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you(note:){+}(:note) are called?

updv@James:2:8 @ Nevertheless if you(note:){+}(:note) fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, You will love your fellow man as yourself, you{+} do well:

updv@James:2:9 @ but if you(note:){+}(:note) have respect of persons, you{+} commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

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

updv@James:2:11 @ For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

updv@James:2:12 @ So speak(note:){+}(:note), and so do{+}, as men who are to be judged by a law of liberty.

updv@James:2:13 @ For judgment [is] without mercy to him who has shown no mercy: mercy glories against judgment.

updv@James:2:14 @ What does it profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but doesn't have works? Can that faith save him?

updv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

updv@James:2:16 @ and one of you(note:){+}(:note) says to them, Go in peace, be{+} warmed and filled; and yet you{+} don't give them the things needful to the body; what does it profit?

updv@James:2:17 @ Even so faith, if it doesn't have works, is dead in itself.

updv@James:2:18 @ Yes, a man will say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith apart from [your] works, and I by my works will show you [my] faith.

updv@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is [only] one God; you do well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

updv@James:2:20 @ But do you want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

updv@James:2:21 @ Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

updv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was working with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;

updv@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

updv@James:2:24 @ You(note:){+}(:note) see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

updv@James:2:25 @ And in like manner wasn't also Rahab the prostitute justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

updv@James:2:26 @ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
