| James 2:1 | My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons: | My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory. | My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| James 2:2 | 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 suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes, | for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment, |
| James 2:3 | 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 court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, "Sit here; this is a good place;" while to the poor man you say, "Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;" | and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou sit thou here well,` and to the poor man may say, `Thou stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,` |
| James 2:4 | have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts? | is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts? | ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges. |
| James 2:5 | 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 dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him? | Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him? |
| James 2:6 | 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 put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? | and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats; |
| James 2:7 | And [do not] *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you? | and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called? | do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you? |
| James 2:8 | If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. | If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience to the Commandment which says "You are to love your fellow man just as you love yourself," you are acting rightly. | If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,` ye do well; |
| James 2:9 | But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. | But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders. | and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors; |
| James 2:10 | For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all. | A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep some one command, has become guilty of violating all. | for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one [point], he hath become guilty of all; |
| James 2:11 | 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," also said, "Do not commit murder," and if you are a murderer, although not an adulterer, you have become an offender against the Law. | for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,` said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;` and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law; |
| James 2:12 | So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty; | Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom. | so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged, |
| James 2:13 | for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment. | For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement. | for the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment. |
| James 2:14 | 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 brethren, if a man professes to have faith, and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him? | What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him? |
| James 2:15 | Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food, | Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or lacks daily food, | and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, |
| James 2:16 | 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 says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that? | and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,` and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit? |
| James 2:17 | So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. | So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life in it so long as it stands alone. | so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. |
| James 2:18 | 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. | Nay, some one will say, "You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions. | But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith: |
| James 2:19 | *Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble. | You believe that God is one, and you are quite right: evil spirits also believe this, and shudder." | thou thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! |
| James 2:20 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? | But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather. | And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? |
| James 2:21 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? | Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar? | Abraham our father was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? |
| James 2:22 | Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected. | You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, and that by his actions his faith was perfected; | dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? |
| James 2:23 | 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, "And Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness," and he received the name of `God's friend.' | and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him to righteousness;` and, `Friend of God` he was called. |
| James 2:24 | Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only. | You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith. | Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only; |
| James 2:25 | 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 the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way? | and in like manner also Rahab the harlot was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth? |
| James 2:26 | For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. | For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience. | for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead. |
