KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
My brethren, have
not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Lord
of
glory,
with
respect
of
persons.
My brethren, hold
not ,
in
respect
of
persons,
the faith of the
glory
of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
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 there may
come into
your synagogue
a man with gold ring, in gay
raiment
, and there may
come in also a poor man in vile raiment ,
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 ye may
look
upon
him bearing
the gay raiment
, and may
say to
him, `Thou
--
sit thou here well,'
and to the poor man
may
say
, `Thou
--
stand thou there, or ,
Sit thou
here under my footstool ,'
--
Are
ye not then
partial
in yourselves, and are
become judges of
evil
thoughts?
ye did
not judge
fully
in yourselves, and did
become ill-reasoning
judges .
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?
Hearken, my brethren beloved
, did
not God choose
the poor of this world ,
rich in faith, and heirs of the reign
that
He promised to those
loving
Him?
But
ye have
despised
the poor .
Do not rich men
oppress you ,
and draw you before
the
judgment seats ?
and
ye did
dishonour
the poor one;
do not the
rich oppress you and themselves
draw you to
judgment -
seats ;
Do not
they blaspheme
that
worthy
name
by
the which
ye
are
called?
do they not
themselves
speak
evil
of
the good
name
that
was
called upon
you
?
If ye
fulfil
the
royal law according to the scripture
, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well :
If ,
indeed,
royal law ye
complete,
according to the Writing
, `
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, '
--
ye do well ;
But
if ye have
respect
to
persons, ye
commit
sin, and
are
convinced
of
the law as transgressors .
and
if ye accept
persons, sin ye
do
work
, 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
the whole law shall
keep
, and shall
stumble
in one `
point '
, he hath
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
is
saying
, `Thou
mayest
not commit adultery, '
said also, `Thou
mayest
do no
murder;'
and
if thou shalt
not
commit adultery, and
shalt
commit
murder
, thou hast
become a transgressor of law ;
So speak ye ,
and so do, as they
that
shall
be
judged
by the
law of liberty .
so speak ye and so do, as about
by a
law of liberty to
be
judged,
For he
shall
have
judgment without mercy
, that
hath
shewed
no
mercy;
and mercy
rejoiceth
against
judgment.
for the
judgment without kindness
`is'
to
him
not
having
done
kindness
, and exult
doth
kindness
over
judgment.
What doth
it
profit, my brethren, though
a
man
say
he
hath
faith, and have
not
works? can
faith save him?
What `is'
the
profit, my brethren, if
faith, any
one
may
speak
of
having,
and works he
may
not
have
? is
that
faith able
to
save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
and
if a brother or sister may
be naked, and may
be
destitute of the
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 any
one of you may
say to
them, `
Depart ye
in peace, be warmed ,
and be
filled ,'
and
may
not
give to
them the
things needful for
the body ,
what `is'
the
profit?
Even
so faith, if it hath
not works, is dead ,
being
alone
.
so also
the
faith, if it may
not have
works, is dead by
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 .
But
say may
some
one
, Thou hast faith, and I have works ,
shew me thy faith out
of
thy works, and I will shew thee out
of
my works my
faith:
Thou believest
that there
is one God
; thou doest
well :
the devils
also
believe, and tremble.
thou --
thou
dost
believe
that God
is one; thou dost
well ,
and
the demons
believe, and they
shudder!
But
wilt
thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead?
And
dost
thou wish
to
know, O vain man, that the
faith apart
from
the
works is dead?
Was
not
Abraham our father justified
by
works, when
he
had
offered
Isaac his son upon the altar?
Abraham our father --
was
not
he
declared
righteous
out
of
works, having
brought
up
Isaac his son upon the altar?
Seest
thou how
faith wrought
with his works, and by
works was
faith made
perfect
?
dost
thou see
that
the
faith was
working
with his works, and out
of
the
works the
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 fulfilled was
the
Writing
that
is
saying
, `And
Abraham did
believe
God, and it was reckoned
to
him --
to
righteousness ;'
and ,
`
Friend of God '
he
was
called
.
Ye see then how
that by
works a
man
is justified
, and not by
faith only .
Ye see ,
then ,
that out
of
works is man
declared
righteous
, and not out
of
faith only ;
Likewise
also was
not
Rahab the harlot justified
by
works, when
she
had
received the messengers, and had
sent
them
out
another way?
and
in
like
manner
also Rahab the harlot --
was
she
not
out
of
works declared
righteous
, having
received the messengers, and by
another way having
sent
forth
?
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, so also
the
faith apart
from
the
works is dead.
