1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

<>our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, <>with respect of persons

2 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;

<>assembly, <>a poor man

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:

4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

<>Are ye not then partial, <>judges of evil thoughts, <>evil thoughts

5 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?

<>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?, <>chosen, <>heirs

6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

<>despised the poor, <>despised, <>rich, <>seats

7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

<>the royal law, <>Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself

9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

<>transgressors

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

<>v. 10, <>keep, <>offend

11 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.

<>Do not commit adultery, <>Do not kill.

12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

<>the law of liberty, <>liberty

13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

<>he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

<>What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?, <>What doth it profit

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

<>vv. 15-16, <>vv. 15-17, <>naked

16 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?

<>vv. 15-16, <>vv. 15-17, <>peace

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

<>vv. 15-17

18 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.

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

<>the devils also believe

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

<>vain man

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

<>v. 21, <>Abraham, <>justified, <>Isaac, <>son

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

<>perfect

23 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.

<>the scripture was fulfilled, <>Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness, <>he was called the Friend of God

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

<>was not Rahab the harlot justified, <>harlot

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

<>the body without the spirit is dead
