James:2:1 @
My brethren ,
hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
the Lord of glory ,
with respect of persons .
asv @
James:2:2 @
For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring ,
in fine clothing ,
and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing ;
asv @
James:2:3 @
and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing ,
and say ,
Sit thou here in a good place ;
and ye say to the poor man ,
Stand thou there ,
or sit under my footstool ;
asv @
James:2:4 @
Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves ,
and become judges with evil thoughts ?
asv @
James:2:5 @
Hearken ,
my beloved brethren ;
did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith ,
and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him ?
asv @
James:2:6 @
But ye have dishonored the poor man .
Do not the rich oppress you ,
and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats ?
asv @
James:2:7 @
Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called ?
asv @
James:2:8 @
Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law ,
according to the scripture ,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ,
ye do well :
asv @
James:2:9 @
but if ye have respect of persons ,
ye commit sin ,
being convicted by the law as transgressors .
asv @
James:2:10 @
For whosoever shall keep the whole law ,
and yet stumble in one point ,
he is become guilty of all .
asv @
James:2:11 @
For he that said ,
Do not commit adultery ,
said also ,
Do not kill .
Now if thou dost not commit adultery ,
but killest ,
thou art become a transgressor of the law .
asv @
James:2:12 @
So speak ye ,
and so do ,
as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty .
asv @
James:2:13 @
For judgment is without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy :
mercy glorieth against judgment .
