ylt @James:2:1 @My brethren , hold not , in respect of persons , the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ , ylt @James:2:2 @for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring , in gay raiment , and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment , ylt @James:2:3 @and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment , and may say to him , 'Thou -- sit thou here well ,' and to the poor man may say , 'Thou -- stand thou there , or , Sit thou here under my footstool ,' -- ylt @James:2:4 @ye did not judge fully in yourselves , and did become ill-reasoning judges . ylt @James:2:5 @Hearken , my brethren beloved , did not God choose the poor of this world , rich in faith , and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him ? ylt @James:2:6 @and ye did dishonour the poor one ; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats ; ylt @James:2:7 @do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you ? ylt @James:2:8 @If , indeed , royal law ye complete , according to the Writing , 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself ,' -- ye do well ; ylt @James:2:9 @and if ye accept persons , sin ye do work , being convicted by the law as transgressors ; ylt @James:2:10 @for whoever the whole law shall keep , and shall stumble in one [point ], he hath become guilty of all ; ylt @James:2:11 @for He who is saying , 'Thou mayest not commit adultery ,' said also , 'Thou mayest do no murder ;' and if thou shalt not commit adultery , and shalt commit murder , thou hast become a transgressor of law ; ylt @James:2:12 @so speak ye and so do , as about by a law of liberty to be judged , ylt @James:2:13 @for the judgment without kindness [is ] to him not having done kindness , and exult doth kindness over judgment . ylt @James:2:14 @What [is ] the profit , my brethren , if faith , any one may speak of having , and works he may not have ? is that faith able to save him ? ylt @James:2:15 @and if a brother or sister may be naked , and may be destitute of the daily food , ylt @James:2:16 @and any one of you may say to them , 'Depart ye in peace , be warmed , and be filled ,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body , what [is ] the profit ? ylt @James:2:17 @so also the faith , if it may not have works , is dead by itself . ylt @James:2:18 @But say may some one , Thou hast faith , and I have works , shew me thy faith out of thy works , and I will shew thee out of my works my faith : ylt @James:2:19 @thou -- thou dost believe that God is one ; thou dost well , and the demons believe , and they shudder ! ylt @James:2:20 @And dost thou wish to know , O vain man , that the faith apart from the works is dead ? ylt @James:2:21 @Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works , having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar ? ylt @James:2:22 @dost thou see that the faith was working with his works , and out of the works the faith was perfected ? ylt @James:2:23 @and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying , 'And Abraham did believe God , and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness ;' and , 'Friend of God ' he was called . ylt @James:2:24 @Ye see , then , that out of works is man declared righteous , and not out of faith only ; ylt @James:2:25 @and in like manner also Rahab the harlot -- was she not out of works declared righteous , having received the messengers , and by another way having sent forth ? ylt @James:2:26 @for as the body apart from the spirit is dead , so also the faith apart from the works is dead .
