My brethren
, have
not
the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
the
Lord
of glory ,
with respect
of
persons
.
My brothers
, don't
hold
the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality
.
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
;
For if a man with a gold ring, in fine
clothing
, comes
into
your
assembly,
and a poor man in filthy
clothing
also
comes
in
;
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 :
and you
pay
special
attention
to him who
wears
the fine
clothing, and say, "
Sit here in a good place; "
and you
tell
the poor man
, "
Stand there, "
or "
Sit by
my footstool ;"
Are
ye
not
then
partial
in
yourselves, and are
become judges of
evil thoughts?
haven't
you
shown
partiality
among
yourselves, and become judges with
evil thoughts?
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?
Listen
, my beloved brothers.
Didn't
God choose
those
who
are
poor in
this world to
be
rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those
who
love him?
But ye
have despised
the poor. Do
not
rich men
oppress you, and draw
you before the judgment
seats
?
But you
have dishonored
the poor man
. Don't
the
rich oppress you, and personally
drag
you before the courts
?
Do
not
they blaspheme that
worthy
name by the
which ye
are called?
Don't
they blaspheme the
honorable
name by which you
are called?
If ye
fulfil
the royal law according to the scripture, Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbour
as thyself
, ye
do well :
However,
if you
fulfill
the royal law ,
according to the Scripture, "You
shall
love your
neighbor
as yourself
, "
you
do well .
But if ye
have
respect
to
persons
, ye
commit sin, and
are
convinced
of
the law as transgressors.
But if you
show
partiality
, you
commit sin, being
convicted
by
the law as transgressors.
For whosoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet offend
in one point, he is
guilty of all.
For whoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble
in one point, he has
become
guilty of all.
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.
For he who
said, "
Do not commit adultery, "
said also, "
Do not commit
murder
. "
Now if you
do
not
commit adultery, but
murder
, you
have
become a transgressor of the law.
So speak ye
, and so do, as they
that
shall
be judged by the
law of liberty
.
So speak, and so do, as men
who
are
to
be judged by a
law of freedom
.
For he
shall
have
judgment without mercy ,
that
hath
shewed
no mercy ;
and
mercy rejoiceth
against
judgment.
For judgment is
without mercy to
him
who
has
shown
no mercy .
Mercy triumphs
over
judgment.
What doth
it profit
, my brethren
, though
a man say
he hath
faith, and
have
not
works? can faith save him?
What good
is
it, my brothers
, if
a man says
he has
faith, but
has
no
works? Can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be
naked ,
and destitute
of daily food,
And
if a brother or sister is
naked and in
lack
of daily food,
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
?
and one of you tells
them, "Go
in peace, be warmed and filled; "
and
yet
you
didn't
give them the
things the body needs,
what good
is
it?
Even so faith, if it hath
not
works, is dead ,
being
alone
.
Even so faith, if it has
no
works, is dead in
itself
.
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.
Yes
, a man will
say, "You
have
faith, and I have works ."
Show
me your
faith from
your
works, and I by my works will
show
you
my
faith
.
Thou
believest
that there
is one God;
thou
doest
well :
the devils
also believe, and tremble
.
You
believe
that God
is one .
You
do
well .
The demons
also believe, and shudder
.
But wilt
thou
know, O
vain man, that faith without
works is dead?
But do
you
want
to
know, vain man, that faith apart
from
works is dead?
Was
not
Abraham our father justified by works, when
he had
offered Isaac his son upon
the altar?
Wasn't
Abraham our father justified by works, in
that
he offered up
Isaac his son on
the altar?
Seest
thou
how
faith wrought
with his works, and by works was
faith made
perfect?
You
see
that
faith worked
with his works, and by works faith was
perfected;
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.
and the Scripture was fulfilled which says
, "
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted
to
him as
righteousness ;"
and he was called the friend of God.
Ye
see then how
that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only
.
You
see then that by works ,
a man is justified, and not only
by faith.
Likewise
also
was
not
Rahab the harlot
justified by works, when
she had
received the messengers, and had
sent them out another way?
In
like
manner
wasn't
Rahab the prostitute
also
justified by works, in
that
she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
For as the body without
the spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also
.
For as the body apart
from
the spirit is dead, even
so faith apart
from
works is dead.
