James 2:1-13

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.
