| James 2:1 | My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account. | My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons: | My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. |
| James 2:2 | For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing, | for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel, | For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly, and there come in also a poor man in filthy clothing; |
| James 2:3 | And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet; | and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool: | and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;" |
| James 2:4 | Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts? | have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts? | haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? |
| James 2:5 | Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him? | Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him? | Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? |
| James 2:6 | But you have put the poor man to shame. Are not the men of wealth rulers over you? do they not take you by force before their judges? | But *ye* have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] *they* drag you before [the] tribunals? | But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? |
| James 2:7 | Do they not say evil of the holy name which was given to you? | And [do not] *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you? | Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? |
| James 2:8 | But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well: | If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. | However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. |
| James 2:9 | But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law. | But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. | But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. |
| James 2:10 | For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all. | For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all. | For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all. |
| James 2:11 | For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken. | For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of [the] law. | For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. |
| James 2:12 | Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free. | So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty; | So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. |
| James 2:13 | For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging. | for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment. | For judgment is without mercy to him who has showed no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. |
| James 2:14 | What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation? | What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him? | What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can that faith save him? |
| James 2:15 | If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food, | Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food, | And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, |
| James 2:16 | And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this? | and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit? | and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it? |
| James 2:17 | Even so faith without works is dead. | So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. | Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. |
| James 2:18 | But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works. | But some one will say, *Thou* hast faith and *I* have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and *I* from my works will shew thee my faith. | Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. |
| James 2:19 | You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear. | *Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble. | You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. |
| James 2:20 | Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use? | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? | But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? |
| James 2:21 | Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar? | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? | Wasn't Abraham, our father, justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? |
| James 2:22 | You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them; | Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected. | You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; |
| James 2:23 | And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God. | And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God. | and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. |
| James 2:24 | You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only. | Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only. | You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. |
| James 2:25 | And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way? | But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way? | In like manner wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? |
| James 2:26 | For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead. | For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. | For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. |
