lont James:2:1-13
lont@James:2:1 @ My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partial regard for persons.
lont@James:2:2 @ For if there enter into your synagogue a man having gold rings on his fingers, and with splendid clothing, and there enter likewise a poor man, with sordid apparel;
lont@James:2:3 @ and you look on him who has the splendid clothing, and say, Sit you here honorably; and to the poor man, Stand you there; or, Sit here at my footstool:
lont@James:2:4 @ are you not, then, partial among yourselves, and have become judges who reason wickedly?
lont@James:2:5 @ Hearken, beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of the world-rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them who love him?
lont@James:2:6 @ Do not the rich exceedingly oppress you, and themselves drag you to the judgment seats?
lont@James:2:7 @ Do not they defame that excellent name which is named on you?
lont@James:2:8 @ «If, now, indeed, you fulfill a royal law, according to the scripture,» 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' 'you do well.'
lont@James:2:9 @ But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, being convicted by the law of transgressors.
lont@James:2:10 @ For whoever will keep the whole law, yet fails in one point, has become guilty of all.
lont@James:2:11 @ «For he who said,» 'Do not commit adultery,' 'has also said, '«Do not kill.» 'Now if you do not commit adultery, yet if you kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.'
lont@James:2:12 @ So speak, and so do, as those who shall be judged by a law of liberty;
lont@James:2:13 @ for judgment without mercy, will be to him who showed no mercy: but mercy exults over judgment.
