Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
My brethren
, hold not,
in
respect
of
persons,
the
faith of
the
glory
of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
My brothers
, as
you
hold out
your
faith in
our glorious
Lord Jesus Christ, do
not
show
favoritism.
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,
Suppose
a
man
comes
into your meeting
wearing
a gold ring and
fine
clothes
, and a poor man in shabby
clothes
also
comes
in.
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
, '
--
If
you
lavish
attention
on
the man
in
fine
clothes
and say, “
Here is
a
seat
of
honor
, ”
but
say
to the poor man, “You
must
stand ”
or “
Sit at
my feet
, ”
ye
did
not judge
fully
in
yourselves ,
and did
become ill-reasoning
judges .
have
you
not discriminated
among
yourselves and become judges with
evil
thoughts?
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?
Listen
, my beloved brothers:
Has
not God chosen
the poor of this world to
be
rich in faith and to
inherit
the kingdom
He promised those who
love
Him?
and
ye
did
dishonour
the poor one;
do
not the rich oppress you and themselves
draw
you to
judgment-seats;
But
you
have
dishonored
the poor .
Is
it
not the rich who
oppress you and drag
you into
court?
do
they not themselves
speak
evil
of
the good
name that
was
called
upon
you?
Are
they not the ones
who
blaspheme
the
noble
name by
which
you have
been
called
?
If ,
indeed,
royal law ye
complete,
according
to
the
Writing
, `Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbour
as thyself
, '
--
ye
do
well ;
If you
really
fulfill
the
royal law stated
in
Scripture
, “
Love your
neighbor
as yourself
, ”
you
are
doing
well .
and
if ye
accept
persons
, sin ye
do
work,
being
convicted by the law as transgressors ;
But
if you
show
favoritism
, you
sin and
are
convicted by the law as transgressors .
for
whoever the whole law shall
keep,
and
shall
stumble
in
one `
point ',
he
hath
become
guilty of all ;
Whoever keeps
the whole law but
stumbles
at
just
one point is
guilty of breaking
all of
it.
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;
For He who said
, “Do
not commit adultery, ”
also said
, “
Do not
murder .”
If you
do
not commit adultery, but
do
commit murder, you
have
become a lawbreaker.
so
speak ye
and so
do,
as about
by
a
law
of
liberty
to be judged ,
Speak and act
as those
who
are
going
to be judged by
the
law
that
gives
freedom.
for the
judgment without kindness
`is'
to him
not having
done
kindness,
and
exult
doth
kindness
over judgment.
For judgment without mercy
will
be
shown
to anyone
who
has
not been
merciful.
Mercy
triumphs
over judgment.
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?
What good
is it
, my brothers
, if someone
claims
to
have
faith, but
has
no
deeds
? Can
such
faith save him?
and
if
a brother or sister may
be
naked,
and may
be
destitute
of
the
daily food ,
Suppose
a brother or sister is
without
clothes
and daily food .
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
?
If
one of you tells
him
, “Go
in peace ;
stay
warm
and well
fed
, ”
but
does
not provide
for his
physical
needs
, what good
is that
?
so also
the
faith, if it may
not have
works
, is dead by
itself
.
So too,
faith by
itself
, if it does
not result
in
action
, is dead.
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 :
But someone
will
say, “You
have
faith and I have deeds.”
Show
me your
faith without
deeds
, and I will show
you
my faith by
my
deeds.
thou
--
thou
dost
believe that God is one ;
thou
dost
well,
and
the demons believe ,
and they
shudder !
You
believe that God is one .
Good
for
you!
Even
the demons believe that—
and shudder .
And
dost
thou
wish
to
know,
O vain
man, that the
faith apart
from
the
works
is dead
?
O foolish
man, do
you
want
evidence
that faith without
deeds
is worthless
?
Abraham
our
father
--
was not he declared
righteous
out
of
works,
having
brought
up
Isaac
his son upon
the altar?
Was not our
father
Abraham
justified
by
what
he did
when
he
offered
his son Isaac
on
the altar?
dost
thou
see that the
faith was working with his works
, and out
of
the
works
the
faith was perfected ?
You
see that his
faith was working with his actions
, and his
faith was perfected by
what
he
did.
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.
And the Scripture
was
fulfilled
that says
, “
Abraham believed
God, and it was credited
to him as
righteousness, ”
and
he was called a
friend
of
God
.
Ye
see, then,
that
out
of
works
is
man declared
righteous,
and not out
of
faith only;
As
you
can
see, a
man is
justified
by
his
deeds
and not by
faith alone.
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
?
In the same
way,
was not even
Rahab
the prostitute
justified
by her
actions
when
she
welcomed
the
spies
and
sent them
off
on
another
route
?
for
as the body apart
from
the spirit is dead, so also
the
faith apart
from
the
works
is dead.
As the body without
the spirit is dead, so faith without
deeds
is dead.
