James:2:1-13




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.
