James:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Brethren of me ,
not with a respect of persons do you hold the faith of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed of the glory .
*
If for may enter into the synagogue of you a man having gold ring on his fingers in a robe splendid ,
may enter and also a poor man in dirty clothing ,
*
and you should look on the one wearing the robe the splendid ,
and you should say :
Thou sit here honorably ;
and to the poor man you should say :
Thou stand there ,
or sit thou here under the footstool of me ;
*
and not did you make a difference among yourselves and became judges reasonings of evil things ?
*
Hear you ,
brethren of me beloved ones ,
not the God chose the poor of the world rich ones in faith and heirs of the kingdom ,
which he promised to those loving him ?
*
You but dishonored the poor .
Not the rich ones domineer over you ,
and they drag you into courts of justice ?
*
Not they revile the honorable name that having been named on you ?
*
If indeed a law you keep royal ,
according to the writing :
Thou shalt love the neighbor of thee as thyself ,
well you do .
*
If but you respect persons ,
sin you work ,
being convicted under the law as transgressors .
*
Whoever for whole the law keeps ,
shall fail but in one ,
has become of all guilty .
*
The for one having said :
Not thou mayest commit adultery ,
said also :
Not thou mayest murder ;
if now not thou commit adultery ,
thou dost murder but ,
thou hast become a transgressor of law .
*
Thus speak you and thus do you ,
as by means of a law of freedom being about to be judged .
*
The for judgment merciless for him not having practised mercy ;
glories over mercy judgment .
*
What the profit ,
brethren of me ,
if faith may say any one to have ,
works but not may have ?
not is able the faith to save him ?
*
If but a brother or a sister naked ones should be ,
and wanting may be of the daily food ,
*
may say and any one to them from of you :
Go you away in peace ,
be you warmed and be you filled ;
not you may give but to them the things necessary of the body ,
what the profit ?
*
Thus also faith ,
if not if may have works ,
dead it is by itself .
*
But will say some one :
Thou faith hast ,
and I works have ;
show to me the faith of thee without the works of thee ,
and I will show to thee by the works of me the faith of me .
*
Thou believest ,
that the God one is ;
well thou doest ;
even the demons believe ,
and shudder .
*
Wishest thou but to know ,
O man vain ,
that the faith without the works dead is ?
*
Abraham the father of us not by works was made righteous ,
having brought up Isaac the son of himself to the altar ?
*
Seest thou ,
that the faith worked with the works of him ,
and by the works the faith was perfected ?
*
And was fulfilled the writing that saying :
Believed but Abraham the God ,
and it was counted to him for righteousness ;
and a friend of God he was called .
*
Do you see ,
that by works is made righteous a man ,
and not by faith alone ?
*
In like manner and also Rahab the harlot not by works was justified ,
having received the messengers ,
and by another way having sent out ?
*
As for the body without breath dead is ,
so also the faith without the works dead is .
