JAS 2:1  "My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with [an attitude of] personal favoritism."

JAS 2:2  "For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes,"

JAS 2:3  "and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, ""You sit here in a good place,"" and you say to the poor man, ""You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"""

JAS 2:4  "have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?"

JAS 2:5  "Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?"

JAS 2:6  But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

JAS 2:7  Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?

JAS 2:8  "If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law, according to the Scripture, ""YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,"" you are doing well."

JAS 2:9  "But if you show partiality, you are committing sin [and] are convicted by the law as transgressors."

JAS 2:10  "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one [point,] he has become guilty of all."

JAS 2:11  "For He who said, ""DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,"" also said, ""DO NOT COMMIT MURDER."" Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law."

JAS 2:12  "So speak and so act, as those who are to be judged by [the] law of liberty."

JAS 2:13  For judgment [will be] merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

JAS 2:14  "What use is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him?"

JAS 2:15  "If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,"

JAS 2:16  "and one of you says to them, ""Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,"" and yet you do not give them what is necessary for [their] body, what use is that?"

JAS 2:17  "Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, [being] by itself."

JAS 2:18  "But someone may [well] say, ""You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."""

JAS 2:19  "You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder."

JAS 2:20  "But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?"

JAS 2:21  "Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?"

JAS 2:22  "You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;"

JAS 2:23  "and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, ""AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,"" and he was called the friend of God."

JAS 2:24  "You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone."

JAS 2:25  "And in the same way was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?"

JAS 2:26  "For just as the body without [the] spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead."

JAS 2:1  "My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with [an attitude of] personal favoritism."

JAS 2:2  "For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes,"
