| James 2:3 | 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 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;" |

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 ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? | 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 not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? | 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 | If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye 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. |

Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. | 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 2:13 | For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. | for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy.

| James 2:14 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? | 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 2:24 | Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by 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. |
