James 2:8-26

8IfG1487, howeverG3305, you 1are fulfillingG5055 the 2royalG937 lawG3551 accordingG2596 to the ScriptureG1124, “3You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572,” you are doingG4160 wellG2573. 9But ifG1487 you 4showG4380 partialityG4380, you are committingG2038 sinG266 and are convictedG1651 by the LawG3551 as violatorsG3848. 10For whoeverG3748 keepsG5083 the wholeG3650 LawG3551, yetG1161 5stumblesG4417 in oneG1520 point, has becomeG1096 6guiltyG1777 of allG3956. 11For He who saidG3004, “7Do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431,” alsoG2532 saidG3004, “8Do not murderG5407.” NowG1161 ifG1487 you do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, but do murderG5407, you have becomeG1096 a violatorG3848 of the LawG3551. 12SoG3779 speakG2980, and soG3779 actG4160, as those who are to be judgedG2919 by 9the lawG3551 of freedomG1657. 13For 10judgmentG2920 will be mercilessG415 to one who has shownG4160 noG3361 mercyG1656; mercyG1656 11triumphsG2620 overG2620 judgmentG2920.

1412WhatG5101 useG3786 is it, 13my brothersG80 and sisters, ifG1437 someoneG5100 saysG3004 he hasG2192 faithG4102, but he hasG2192 noG3361 worksG2041? CanG1410 14that faithG4102 saveG4982 him? 1515IfG1437 a brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 is withoutG1131 clothingG1131 and inG3007 needG3007 of dailyG2184 foodG5160, 16and oneG5100 of you saysG3004 to them, “16GoG5217 in peaceG1515, 17be warmedG2328 and be filledG5526,” yetG1161 you do not giveG1325 them whatG3588 is necessaryG2006 for their bodyG4983, whatG5101 useG3786 is that? 17InG3779 theG3779 sameG3779 wayG3779, 18faithG4102 alsoG2532, ifG1437 it hasG2192 noG3361 worksG2041, is 19deadG3498, being by itselfG1438.

1820But someoneG5100 21may well sayG3004, “You haveG2192 faithG4102 and I haveG2192 worksG2041; showG1166 me your 22faithG4102 withoutG5565 the worksG2041, and I will 23showG1166 you my faithG4102 24by my worksG2041.” 19You believeG4100 that 2526GodG2316 is oneG1520. 27You doG4160 wellG2573; 28the demonsG1140 alsoG2532 believeG4100, and shudderG5425. 20But are you willingG2309 to acknowledgeG1097, 29you foolishG2756 personG444, that 30faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 is uselessG692? 2131Was our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 when he offeredG399 upG399 his sonG5207 IsaacG2464 on the altarG2379? 22You seeG991 that 32faithG4102 was workingG4903 withG4903 his worksG2041, and 33as a resultG1537 of the 34worksG2041, faithG4102 was 35perfectedG5048; 23and the ScriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saysG3004, “36And AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was creditedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343,” and he was calledG2564 a 37friendG5384 of GodG2316. 24You seeG3708 that a personG444 is justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 and not by faithG4102 aloneG3441. 25In the sameG3668 wayG3668, was 38RahabG4460 the prostituteG4204 not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 alsoG2532 39when she receivedG5264 the messengersG32 and sentG1544 them outG1544 by anotherG2087 wayG3598? 26For justG5618 as the bodyG4983 withoutG5565 the spiritG4151 is deadG3498, soG3779 alsoG2532 40faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 is deadG3498.
