dourh - James:2:1-13

dourh@James:2:1 @ My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with respect of persons.

dourh@James:2:2 @ For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel, and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire,

dourh@James:2:3 @ And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool:

dourh@James:2:4 @ Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?

dourh@James:2:5 @ Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?

dourh@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?

dourh@James:2:7 @ Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?

dourh@James:2:8 @ If then you fulfil the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.

dourh@James:2:9 @ But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.

dourh@James:2:10 @ And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.

dourh@James:2:11 @ For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

dourh@James:2:12 @ So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.

dourh@James:2:13 @ For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
