1 # My <3450> brethren <80>, have <2192> (5720) not <3361> the faith <4102> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, the Lord of glory <1391>, with <1722> respect of persons <4382>.
2 For <1063> if <1437> there come <1525> (5632) unto <1519> your <5216> assembly <4864> a man <435> with a gold ring <5554>, in <1722> goodly <2986> apparel <2066>, and <1161> there come in <1525> (5632) also <2532> a poor man <4434> in <1722> vile <4508> raiment <2066>;
3 And <2532> ye have respect <1914> (5661) to <1909> him that weareth <5409> (5723) the gay <2986> clothing <2066>, and <2532> say <2036> (5632) unto him <846>, Sit <2521> (5737) thou <4771> here <5602> in a good place <2573>; and <2532> say <2036> (5632) to the poor <4434>, Stand <2476> (5628) thou <4771> there <1563>, or <2228> sit <2521> (5737) here <5602> under <5259> my <3450> footstool <5286>:
4 Are ye <1252> <0> not <3756> then <2532> partial <1252> (5681) in <1722> yourselves <1438>, and <2532> are become <1096> (5633) judges <2923> of evil <4190> thoughts <1261>?
5 Hearken <191> (5657), my <3450> beloved <27> brethren <80>, Hath <1586> <0> not <3756> God <2316> chosen <1586> (5668) the poor <4434> of this <5127> world <2889> rich <4145> in <1722> faith <4102>, and <2532> heirs <2818> of the kingdom <932> which <3739> he hath promised <1861> (5662) to them that love <25> (5723) him <846>?
6 But <1161> ye <5210> have despised <818> (5656) the poor <4434>. Do <2616> <0> not <3756> rich men <4145> oppress <2616> (5719) you <5216>, and <2532> draw <846> <1670> (5719) you <5209> before <1519> the judgment seats <2922>?
7 Do <987> <0> not <3756> they <846> blaspheme <987> (5719) that worthy <2570> name <3686> by <1909> the which ye <5209> are called <1941> (5685)?
8 # If <1487> <3305> ye fulfil <5055> (5719) the royal <937> law <3551> according to <2596> the scripture <1124>, Thou shalt love <25> (5692) thy <4675> neighbour <4139> as <5613> thyself <4572>, ye do <4160> (5719) well <2573>:
9 But <1161> if <1487> ye have respect to persons <4380> (5719), ye commit <2038> (5736) sin <266>, and are convinced <1651> (5746) of <5259> the law <3551> as <5613> transgressors <3848>.
10 For <1063> whosoever <3748> shall keep <5083> (5692) the whole <3650> law <3551>, and yet <1161> offend <4417> (5692) in <1722> one <1520> point, he is <1096> (5754) guilty <1777> of all <3956>.
11 For <1063> he that said <2036> (5631), Do <3431> <0> not <3361> commit adultery <3431> (5661), said <2036> (5627) also <2532>, Do <5407> <0> not <3361> kill <5407> (5661). Now <1161> if <1487> thou commit <3431> <0> no <3756> adultery <3431> (5692), yet if <1161> thou kill <5407> (5692), thou art become <1096> (5754) a transgressor <3848> of the law <3551>.
12 So <3779> speak ye <2980> (5720), and <2532> so <3779> do <4160> (5720), as <5613> they that shall be <3195> (5723) judged <2919> (5745) by <1223> the law <3551> of liberty <1657>.
13 For <1063> he shall have judgment <2920> without mercy <448>, that hath shewed <4160> (5660) no <3361> mercy <1656>; and <2532> mercy <1656> rejoiceth against <2620> (5736) judgment <2920>.
14 # What <5101> doth it profit <3786>, my <3450> brethren <80>, though <1437> a man <5100> say <3004> (5725) he hath <2192> (5721) faith <4102>, and <1161> have <2192> (5725) not <3361> works <2041>? can <1410> (5736) <3361> faith <4102> save <4982> (5658) him <846>?
15 If <1437> <1161> a brother <80> or <2228> sister <79> be <5225> (5725) naked <1131> , and <2532> destitute <3007> (5746) <5600> (5753) of daily <2184> food <5160>,
16 And <1161> one <5100> of <1537> you <5216> say <2036> (5632) unto them <846>, Depart <5217> (5720) in <1722> peace <1515>, be ye warmed <2328> (5728) and <2532> filled <5526> (5744); notwithstanding <1161> ye give <1325> (5632) them <846> not <3361> those things which are needful <2006> to the body <4983>; what <5101> doth it profit <3786>?
17 Even <2532> so <3779> faith <4102>, if <3362> <0> it hath <2192> (5725) not <3362> works <2041>, is <2076> (5748) dead <3498>, being alone <2596> <1438>.
18 Yea <235>, a man <5100> may say <2046> (5692), Thou <4771> hast <2192> (5719) faith <4102>, and I <2504> have <2192> (5719) works <2041>: shew <1166> (5657) me <3427> thy <4675> faith <4102> without <1537> thy <4675> works <2041>, and I <2504> will shew <1166> (5692) thee <4671> my <3450> faith <4102> by <1537> my <3450> works <2041>.
19 Thou <4771> believest <4100> (5719) that <3754> there is <2076> (5748) one <1520> God <2316>; thou doest <4160> (5719) well <2573>: the devils <1140> also <2532> believe <4100> (5719), and <2532> tremble <5425> (5719).
20 But <1161> wilt <2309> (5719) thou know <1097> (5629), O <5599> vain <2756> man <444>, that <3754> faith <4102> without <5565> works <2041> is <2076> (5748) dead <3498>?
21 Was <1344> <0> not <3756> Abraham <11> our <2257> father <3962> justified <1344> (5681) by <1537> works <2041>, when he had offered <399> (5660) Isaac <2464> his <846> son <5207> upon <1909> the altar <2379>?
22 Seest thou <991> (5719) how <3754> faith <4102> wrought <4903> (5707) with his <846> works <2041>, and <2532> by <1537> works <2041> was <5048> <0> faith <4102> made perfect <5048> (5681)?
23 And <2532> the scripture <1124> was fulfilled <4137> (5681) which saith <3004> (5723), <1161> Abraham <11> believed <4100> (5656) God <2316>, and <2532> it was imputed <3049> (5681) unto him <846> for <1519> righteousness <1343>: and <2532> he was called <2564> (5681) the Friend <5384> of God <2316> .
24 Ye see <3708> (5719) then <5106> how that <3754> by <1537> works <2041> a man <444> is justified <1344> (5743), and <2532> not <3756> by <1537> faith <4102> only <3440>.
25 Likewise <3668> <1161> also <2532> was <1344> <0> not <3756> Rahab <4460> the harlot <4204> justified <1344> (5681) by <1537> works <2041>, when she had received <5264> (5666) the messengers <32> , and <2532> had sent them out <1544> (5631) another <2087> way <3598>?
26 For <1063> as <5618> the body <4983> without <5565> the spirit <4151> is <2076> (5748) dead <3498>, so <3779> faith <4102> without <5565> works <2041> is <2076> (5748) dead <3498> also <2532>.
