1MyG1473 brethrenG80, haveG2192 notG3361 the faithG3588G4102 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the Lord of gloryG3588G1391, withG1722 respect of personsG4382. 2ForG1063 ifG1437 there comeG1525 untoG1519 yourG4771 synagogueG3588G4864 a manG435 with a gold ringG5554, inG1722 goodlyG2986 apparelG2066, andG1161 there come inG1525 alsoG2532 a poor manG4434 inG1722 vileG4508 raimentG2066; 3AndG2532 ye have respectG1914 toG1909 him thatG3588 wearethG5409 the gayG2986 clothingG3588G2066, andG2532 sayG3004 unto himG846, SitG2521 thouG4771 hereG5602 in a good placeG2573; andG2532 sayG3004 to the poorG4434, StandG2476 thouG4771 thereG1563, orG2228 sitG2521 hereG5602 underG5259 myG1473 footstoolG3588G5286: 4Are yeG1252 notG3756 thenG2532 partialG1252 inG1722 yourselvesG1438, andG2532 are becomeG1096 judgesG2923 of evilG4190 thoughtsG1261? 5HearkenG191, myG1473 belovedG27 brethrenG80, HathG1586 notG3756 GodG3588G2316 chosenG1586 the poorG4434 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 richG4145 inG1722 faithG4102, andG2532 heirsG2818 of the kingdomG3588G932 whichG3739 he hath promisedG1861 to them thatG3588 loveG25 himG846? 6ButG1161 yeG4771 have despisedG818 the poorG4434. DoG2616 notG3756 rich menG4145 oppressG2616 youG4771, andG2532 drawG1670 youG4771 beforeG1519 the judgment seatsG2922? 7DoG987 notG3756 theyG846 blasphemeG987 that worthyG2570 nameG3686 byG1909 the whichG3588 yeG4771 are calledG1941? 8IfG1487 ye fulfilG5055 the royalG937 lawG3551 according toG2596 the scriptureG3588G1124, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4771 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572, ye doG4160 wellG2573: 9ButG1161 ifG1487 ye have respect to personsG4380, ye commitG2038 sinG266, and are convictedG1651 ofG5259 the lawG3588G3551 asG5613 transgressorsG3848.

10ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 shall keepG5083 the wholeG3650 lawG3588G3551, and yetG1161 offendG4417 inG1722 oneG1520 point, he isG1096 guilty ofG1777 allG3956. 11ForG1063 he that saidG3004, DoG3431 notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, saidG3004 alsoG2532, DoG5407 notG3361 killG5407. NowG1161 ifG1487 thou commitG3431 noG3756 adulteryG3431, yetG1161 if thou killG5407, thou art becomeG1096 a transgressorG3848 of the lawG3551. 12SoG3779 speak yeG2980, andG2532 soG3779 doG4160, asG5613 they that shallG3195 be judgedG2919 byG1223 the lawG3551 of libertyG1657. 13

ForG1063 heG4160 shall have judgmentG2920 without mercyG448, that hath shewedG4160 noG3361 mercyG1656; andG2532 mercyG1656 rejoiceth againstG2620 judgmentG2920.

14WhatG5101 doth it profitG3588G3786, myG1473 brethrenG80, thoughG1437 a manG5100 sayG3004 he hathG2192 faithG4102, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 worksG2041? canG1410 faithG3588G4102 saveG4982 himG846? 15IfG1437 a brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 beG5225 nakedG1131, andG2532 destituteG3007 of dailyG2184 foodG5160, 16AndG1161 oneG5100 ofG1537 youG4771 sayG3004 unto themG846, DepartG5217 inG1722 peaceG1515, beG2328 ye warmedG2328 andG2532 filledG5526; notwithstandingG1161 ye giveG1325 themG846 notG3361 those things which are needfulG2006 to the bodyG3588G4983; whatG5101 doth it profitG3588G3786? 17EvenG2532 soG3779 faithG3588G4102, ifG1437 it hathG2192 notG3361 worksG2041, isG1510 deadG3498, beingG2596 aloneG1438. 18YeaG235, a manG5100 may sayG2046, ThouG4771 hastG2192 faithG4102, and IG2504 haveG2192 worksG2041: shewG1166 meG1473 thyG4771 faithG3588G4102 withoutG1537 thyG4771 worksG3588G2041, and IG2504 will shewG1166 theeG4771 myG1473 faithG3588G4102 byG1537 myG1473 worksG3588G2041. 19ThouG4771 believestG4100 thatG3754 there isG1510 oneG1520 GodG3588G2316; thou doestG4160 wellG2573: the devilsG3588G1140 alsoG2532 believeG4100, andG2532 trembleG5425.

20ButG1161 wilt thouG2309 knowG1097, OG5599 vainG2756 manG444, thatG3754 faithG3588G4102 withoutG5565 worksG3588G2041 isG1510 deadG3498? 21Was notG3756 AbrahamG11 ourG1473 fatherG3588G3962 justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, when he had offeredG399 IsaacG2464 hisG846 sonG3588G5207 uponG1909 the altarG3588G2379? 22Seest thouG991 howG3754 faithG3588G4102 wrought withG4903 hisG846 worksG3588G2041, andG2532 byG1537 worksG3588G2041 wasG5048 faithG3588G4102 made perfectG5048? 23AndG2532 the scriptureG3588G1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saithG3004, AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 it was imputedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343: andG2532 he was calledG2564 the FriendG5384 of GodG2316. 24Ye seeG3708 thenG5106 how thatG3754 byG1537 worksG2041 a manG444 is justifiedG1344, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102 onlyG3440. 25LikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 wasG1344 notG3756 RahabG4460 the harlotG3588G4204 justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, when she had receivedG5264 the messengersG3588G32, andG2532 had sentG1544 them outG1544 anotherG2087 wayG3598? 26ForG1063 asG5618 the bodyG3588G4983 withoutG5565 the spiritG4151 isG1510 deadG3498, soG3779 faithG3588G4102 withoutG5565 worksG3588G2041 isG1510 deadG3498 alsoG2532.
