| 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 there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; | 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 ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou 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;" |

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 ye have despised the poor.

| James 2:8 | If then you fulfil the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well. | If ye fulfil 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. |

Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a 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 | So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty. | So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall 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 judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment. | For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. | 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?

Can that faith save him? |

| James 2:24 | Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only? | Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. | You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. |
