| James 2:1 | My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with respect of persons. | My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account. | 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 there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel, and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire, | 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 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 have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool: | 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 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 | Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts? | Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts? | haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? |
| James 2:5 | Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him? | 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? | 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 dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats? | 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 you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? |
| James 2:7 | Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you? | Do they not say evil of the holy name which was given to you? | Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? |
| James 2:8 | If then you fulfil the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well. | 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: | 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 have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors. | But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law. | But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. |
| James 2:10 | And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all. | 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 yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all. |
| James 2:11 | For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. | 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, "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 | So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty. | Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free. | So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. |
| James 2:13 | For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment. | For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging. | For judgment is without mercy to him who has showed no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. |
| James 2:14 | What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him? | 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 good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can that faith save him? |
| James 2:15 | And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food: | If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food, | And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, |
| James 2:16 | And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? | 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 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 | So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. | Even so faith without works is dead. | Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. |
| James 2:18 | But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith. | 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. | 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 | Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. | You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear. | You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. |
| James 2:20 | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? | Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use? | But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? |
| James 2:21 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? | Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar? | Wasn't Abraham, our father, justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? |
| James 2:22 | Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect? | You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them; | You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; |
| James 2:23 | And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. | 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 accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. |
| James 2:24 | Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only? | You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only. | You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. |
| James 2:25 | And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way? | 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? | 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 even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead. | For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead. | For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. |
