| James 2:1 | My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, | 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: |
| James 2:2 | 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, | 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, |
| James 2:3 | 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,` | 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: |
| James 2:4 | ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges. | 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? |
| James 2:5 | 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? | 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? |
| James 2:6 | and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to 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 *ye* have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] *they* drag you before [the] tribunals? |
| James 2:7 | do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you? | 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? |
| James 2:8 | If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,` ye 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: | If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. |
| James 2:9 | and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted 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 ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. |
| James 2:10 | for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one [point], he hath 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 shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all. |
| James 2:11 | 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; | 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. |
| James 2:12 | so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged, | 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; |
| James 2:13 | for the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment. | 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. |
| James 2:14 | 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? | 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? |
| James 2:15 | and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, | 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, |
| James 2:16 | 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? | 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? |
| James 2:17 | so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. | Even so faith without works is dead. | So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. |
| James 2:18 | 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: | 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. |
| James 2:19 | thou thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! | 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. |
| James 2:20 | And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? | 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? |
| James 2:21 | Abraham our father was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought 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? | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? |
| James 2:22 | dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? | 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. |
| James 2:23 | 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. | 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. |
| James 2:24 | Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only; | 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. |
| James 2:25 | 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? | 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? |
| James 2:26 | for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead. | 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. |
