James Chapter 2 - King James Strong Number Version
- 1
- My <G3450> brethren <G0080>, have <G2192> <G5720> not <G3361> the faith <G4102> of our <G2257> Lord <G2962> Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547>, [the Lord] of glory <G1391>, with <G1722> respect of persons <G4382>.
- 2
- For <G1063> if <G1437> there come <G1525> <G5632> unto <G1519> your <G5216> assembly <G4864> a man <G0435> with a gold ring <G5554>, in <G1722> goodly <G2986> apparel <G2066>, and <G1161> there come in <G1525> <G5632> also <G2532> a poor man <G4434> in <G1722> vile <G4508> raiment <G2066>;
- 3
- And <G2532> ye have respect <G1914> <G5661> to <G1909> him that weareth <G5409> <G5723> the gay <G2986> clothing <G2066>, and <G2532> say <G2036> <G5632> unto him <G0846>, Sit <G2521> <G5737> thou <G4771> here <G5602> in a good place <G2573>; and <G2532> say <G2036> <G5632> to the poor <G4434>, Stand <G2476> <G5628> thou <G4771> there <G1563>, or <G2228> sit <G2521> <G5737> here <G5602> under <G5259> my <G3450> footstool <G5286>:
- 4
- Are ye <G1252> <G0000> not <G3756> then <G2532> partial <G1252> <G5681> in <G1722> yourselves <G1438>, and <G2532> are become <G1096> <G5633> judges <G2923> of evil <G4190> thoughts <G1261>?
- 5
- Hearken <G0191> <G5657>, my <G3450> beloved <G0027> brethren <G0080>, Hath <G1586> <G0000> not <G3756> God <G2316> chosen <G1586> <G5668> the poor <G4434> of this <G5127> world <G2889> rich <G4145> in <G1722> faith <G4102>, and <G2532> heirs <G2818> of the kingdom <G0932> which <G3739> he hath promised <G1861> <G5662> to them that love <G0025> <G5723> him <G0846>?
- 6
- But <G1161> ye <G5210> have despised <G0818> <G5656> the poor <G4434>. Do <G2616> <G0000> not <G3756> rich men <G4145> oppress <G2616> <G5719> you <G5216>, and <G2532> draw <G0846> <G1670> <G5719> you <G5209> before <G1519> the judgment seats <G2922>?
- 7
- Do <G0987> <G0000> not <G3756> they blaspheme <G0987> <G5719> that worthy <G2570> name <G3686> by <G1909> the which ye <G5209> are called <G1941> <G5685>?
- 8
- If <G1487> <G3305> ye fulfil <G5055> <G5719> the royal <G0937> law <G3551> according to <G2596> the scripture <G1124>, Thou shalt love <G0025> <G5692> thy <G4675> neighbour <G4139> as <G5613> thyself <G4572>, ye do <G4160> <G5719> well <G2573>:
- 9
- But <G1161> if <G1487> ye have respect to persons <G4380> <G5719>, ye commit <G2038> <G5736> sin <G0266>, and are convinced <G1651> <G5746> of <G5259> the law <G3551> as <G5613> transgressors <G3848>.
- 10
- For <G1063> whosoever <G3748> shall keep <G5083> <G5692> the whole <G3650> law <G3551>, and yet <G1161> offend <G4417> <G5692> in <G1722> one <G1520> [point], he is <G1096> <G5754> guilty <G1777> of all <G3956>.
- 11
- For <G1063> he that said <G2036> <G5631>, Do <G3431> <G0000> not <G3361> commit adultery <G3431> <G5661>, said <G2036> <G5627> also <G2532>, Do <G5407> <G0000> not <G3361> kill <G5407> <G5661>. Now <G1161> if <G1487> thou commit <G3431> <G0000> no <G3756> adultery <G3431> <G5692>, yet if <G1161> thou kill <G5407> <G5692>, thou art become <G1096> <G5754> a transgressor <G3848> of the law <G3551>.
- 12
- So <G3779> speak ye <G2980> <G5720>, and <G2532> so <G3779> do <G4160> <G5720>, as <G5613> they that shall be <G3195> <G5723> judged <G2919> <G5745> by <G1223> the law <G3551> of liberty <G1657>.
- 13
- For <G1063> he shall have judgment <G2920> without mercy <G0448>, that hath shewed <G4160> <G5660> no <G3361> mercy <G1656>; and <G2532> mercy <G1656> rejoiceth against <G2620> <G5736> judgment <G2920>.
- 14
- What <G5101> [doth it] profit <G3786>, my <G3450> brethren <G0080>, though <G1437> a man <G5100> say <G3004> <G5725> he hath <G2192> <G5721> faith <G4102>, and <G1161> have <G2192> <G5725> not <G3361> works <G2041>? can <G1410> <G5736> <G3361> faith <G4102> save <G4982> <G5658> him <G0846>?
- 15
- If <G1437> <G1161> a brother <G0080> or <G2228> sister <G0079> be <G5225> <G5725> naked <G1131>, and <G2532> destitute <G3007> <G5746> <G5600> <G5753> of daily <G2184> food <G5160>,
- 16
- And <G1161> one <G5100> of <G1537> you <G5216> say <G2036> <G5632> unto them <G0846>, Depart <G5217> <G5720> in <G1722> peace <G1515>, be [ye] warmed <G2328> <G5728> and <G2532> filled <G5526> <G5744>; notwithstanding <G1161> ye give <G1325> <G5632> them <G0846> not <G3361> those things which are needful <G2006> to the body <G4983>; what <G5101> [doth it] profit <G3786>?
- 17
- Even <G2532> so <G3779> faith <G4102>, if <G3362> <G0000> it hath <G2192> <G5725> not <G3362> works <G2041>, is <G2076> <G5748> dead <G3498>, being alone <G2596> <G1438>.
- 18
- Yea <G0235>, a man <G5100> may say <G2046> <G5692>, Thou <G4771> hast <G2192> <G5719> faith <G4102>, and I <G2504> have <G2192> <G5719> works <G2041>: shew <G1166> <G5657> me <G3427> thy <G4675> faith <G4102> without <G1537> thy <G4675> works <G2041>, and I <G2504> will shew <G1166> <G5692> thee <G4671> my <G3450> faith <G4102> by <G1537> my <G3450> works <G2041>.
- 19
- Thou <G4771> believest <G4100> <G5719> that <G3754> there is <G2076> <G5748> one <G1520> God <G2316>; thou doest <G4160> <G5719> well <G2573>: the devils <G1140> also <G2532> believe <G4100> <G5719>, and <G2532> tremble <G5425> <G5719>.
- 20
- But <G1161> wilt <G2309> <G5719> thou know <G1097> <G5629>, O <G5599> vain <G2756> man <G0444>, that <G3754> faith <G4102> without <G5565> works <G2041> is <G2076> <G5748> dead <G3498>?
- 21
- Was <G1344> <G0000> not <G3756> Abraham <G0011> our <G2257> father <G3962> justified <G1344> <G5681> by <G1537> works <G2041>, when he had offered <G0399> <G5660> Isaac <G2464> his <G0848> son <G5207> upon <G1909> the altar <G2379>?
- 22
- Seest thou <G0991> <G5719> how <G3754> faith <G4102> wrought <G4903> <G5707> with his <G0846> works <G2041>, and <G2532> by <G1537> works <G2041> was <G5048> <G0000> faith <G4102> made perfect <G5048> <G5681>?
- 23
- And <G2532> the scripture <G1124> was fulfilled <G4137> <G5681> which saith <G3004> <G5723>, <G1161> Abraham <G0011> believed <G4100> <G5656> God <G2316>, and <G2532> it was imputed <G3049> <G5681> unto him <G0846> for <G1519> righteousness <G1343>: and <G2532> he was called <G2564> <G5681> the Friend <G5384> of God <G2316>.
- 24
- Ye see <G3708> <G5719> <G5720> then <G5106> how that <G3754> by <G1537> works <G2041> a man <G0444> is justified <G1344> <G5743>, and <G2532> not <G3756> by <G1537> faith <G4102> only <G3440>.
- 25
- Likewise <G3668> <G1161> also <G2532> was <G1344> <G0000> not <G3756> Rahab <G4460> the harlot <G4204> justified <G1344> <G5681> by <G1537> works <G2041>, when she had received <G5264> <G5666> the messengers <G0032>, and <G2532> had sent [them] out <G1544> <G5631> another <G2087> way <G3598>?
- 26
- For <G1063> as <G5618> the body <G4983> without <G5565> the spirit <G4151> is <G2076> <G5748> dead <G3498>, so <G3779> faith <G4102> without <G5565> works <G2041> is <G2076> <G5748> dead <G3498> also <G2532>.
