James 2 : 1 (YLT)

My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

James 2 : 2 (YLT)

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,

James 2 : 3 (YLT)

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,` --

James 2 : 4 (YLT)

ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges.

James 2 : 5 (YLT)

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?

James 2 : 6 (YLT)

and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

James 2 : 7 (YLT)

do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?

James 2 : 8 (YLT)

If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,` -- ye do well;

James 2 : 9 (YLT)

and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;

James 2 : 10 (YLT)

for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one *point , he hath become guilty of all;

James 2 : 11 (YLT)

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;

James 2 : 12 (YLT)

so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,

James 2 : 13 (YLT)

for the judgment without kindness *is to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.

James 2 : 14 (YLT)

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?

James 2 : 15 (YLT)

and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,

James 2 : 16 (YLT)

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?

James 2 : 17 (YLT)

so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.

James 2 : 18 (YLT)

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:

James 2 : 19 (YLT)

thou -- thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!

James 2 : 20 (YLT)

And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?

James 2 : 21 (YLT)

Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?

James 2 : 22 (YLT)

dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected?

James 2 : 23 (YLT)

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.

James 2 : 24 (YLT)

Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only;

James 2 : 25 (YLT)

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?

James 2 : 26 (YLT)

for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.
