kjv James:2:1-4:12
kjv@James:2:1 @ My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
kjv@James:2:2 @ For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
kjv@James:2:3 @ And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
kjv@James:2:4 @ Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
kjv@James:2:5 @ Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
kjv@James:2:6 @ But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
kjv@James:2:7 @ Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
kjv@James:2:8 @ If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
kjv@James:2:9 @ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
kjv@James:2:10 @ For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
kjv@James:2:11 @ For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
kjv@James:2:12 @ So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
kjv@James:2:13 @ For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
kjv@James:2:14 @ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
kjv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
kjv@James:2:16 @ And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
kjv@James:2:17 @ Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
kjv@James:2:18 @ Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
kjv@James:2:19 @ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
kjv@James:2:20 @ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
kjv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
kjv@James:2:22 @ Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
kjv@James:2:23 @ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
kjv@James:2:24 @ Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
kjv@James:2:25 @ Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
kjv@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
kjv@James:3:1 @ My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
kjv@James:3:2 @ For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
kjv@James:3:3 @ Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
kjv@James:3:4 @ Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
kjv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
kjv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
kjv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
kjv@James:3:8 @ But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
kjv@James:3:9 @ Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
kjv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
kjv@James:3:11 @ Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
kjv@James:3:12 @ Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
kjv@James:3:13 @ Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
kjv@James:3:14 @ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
kjv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
kjv@James:3:16 @ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
kjv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
kjv@James:3:18 @ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
kjv@James:4:1 @ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
kjv@James:4:2 @ Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
kjv@James:4:3 @ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
kjv@James:4:4 @ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
kjv@James:4:5 @ Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
kjv@James:4:6 @ But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
kjv@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
kjv@James:4:8 @ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
kjv@James:4:9 @ Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
kjv@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
kjv@James:4:11 @ Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
kjv@James:4:12 @ There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
