| 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 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 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 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;" |
| James 2:4 | ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges. | Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? | haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with 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? | Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love 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 | and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats; | But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? | But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? |
| James 2:7 | do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you? | Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? | Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? |
| James 2:8 | If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,` ye 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. |
| James 2:9 | and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors; | But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. | But if you show partiality, you 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 whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of 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 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 that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. 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 about by a law of liberty to be judged, | 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 the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over 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 [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 doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and 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 2:15 | and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, | If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, | And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack 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 say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? | 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 also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. | Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. | Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in 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: | Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith 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 thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! | Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. | You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. |
| James 2:20 | And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? | But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? | But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from 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 Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? | Wasn't Abraham, our father, justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on 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? | Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? | You see that faith worked with his works, and 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 scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called 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 | Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of 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. |
| 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? | Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out 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 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, so faith without works is dead also. | For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. |
