James:2:1-13
rkjnt@James:2:1 @ My brethren, do not hold your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
rkjnt@James:2:2 @ For if there comes into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in fine apparel, and there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothing,
rkjnt@James:2:3 @ And you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say to him, Sit here in a good place; and say to the poor man, Stand there, or sit here beside my footstool:
rkjnt@James:2:4 @ Have you not then discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
rkjnt@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?
rkjnt@James:2:6 @ But you have despised the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you, and drag you into court?
rkjnt@James:2:7 @ Is it not they who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
rkjnt@James:2:8 @ If you fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbour as yourself, you do well,
rkjnt@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
rkjnt@James:2:10 @ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble at one point, is guilty of breaking it all.
rkjnt@James:2:11 @ For he who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.
rkjnt@James:2:12 @ So speak, and so act, as those who shall be judged by the law of liberty.
rkjnt@James:2:13 @ For he shall receive judgment without mercy, who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
