James 2
- 1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
- 2 For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;
- 3 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”;
- 4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
- 5 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?
- 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
- 7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
- 8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
- 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
- 10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
- 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
- 12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
- 13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
- 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
- 15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
- 16 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?
- 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
- 18 Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
- 19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
- 20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
- 21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
- 22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
- 23 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.
- 24 You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.
- 25 In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
- 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
