| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2For 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; |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And 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: |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Hearken, 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? |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For 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. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And 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? |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Yea, 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. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And 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. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. |
