2:1 My
brothers,
show
no
partiality
as
you
hold
the
faith
in
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Lord
of
glory.
2:2 For
if
a
man
wearing
a
gold
ring
and
fine
clothing
comes
into
your
assembly,
and
a
poor
man
in
shabby
clothing
also
comes
in,
2:3 and
if
you
pay
attention
to
the
one
who
wears
the
fine
clothing
and
say,
"You
sit
here
in
a
good
place,"
while
you
say
to
the
poor
man,
"You
stand
over
there,"
or,
"Sit
down
at
my
feet,"
2:4 have
you
not
then
made
distinctions
among
yourselves
and
become
judges
with
evil
thoughts
2:5 Listen,
my
beloved
brothers,
has
not
God
chosen
those
who
are
poor
in
the
world
to
be
rich
in
faith
and
heirs
of
the
kingdom,
which
he
has
promised
to
those
who
love
him
2:6 But
you
have
dishonored
the
poor
man.
Are
not
the
rich
the
ones
who
oppress
you,
and
the
ones
who
drag
you
into
court
2:7 Are
they
not
the
ones
who
blaspheme
the
honorable
name
by
which
you
were
called
2:8 If
you
really
fulfill
the
royal
law
according
to
the
Scripture,
"You
shall
love
your
neighbor
as
yourself,"
you
are
doing
well.
2:9 But
if
you
show
partiality,
you
are
committing
sin
and
are
convicted
by
the
law
as
transgressors.
2:10 For
whoever
keeps
the
whole
law
but
fails
in
one
point
has
become
accountable
for
all
of
it.
2:11 For
he
who
said,
"Do
not
commit
adultery,"
also
said,
"Do
not
murder."
If
you
do
not
commit
adultery
but
do
murder,
you
have
become
a
transgressor
of
the
law.
2:12 So
speak
and
so
act
as
those
who
are
to
be
judged
under
the
law
of
liberty.
2:13 For
judgment
is
without
mercy
to
one
who
has
shown
no
mercy.
Mercy
triumphs
over
judgment.
2:14 What
good
is
it,
my
brothers,
if
someone
says
he
has
faith
but
does
not
have
works
Can
that
faith
save
him
2:15 If
a
brother
or
sister
is
poorly
clothed
and
lacking
in
daily
food,
2:16 and
one
of
you
says
to
them,
"Go
in
peace,
be
warmed
and
filled,"
without
giving
them
the
things
needed
for
the
body,
what
good
is
that
2:17 So
also
faith
by
itself,
if
it
does
not
have
works,
is
dead.
2:18 But
someone
will
say,
"You
have
faith
and
I
have
works."
Show
me
your
faith
apart
from
your
works,
and
I
will
show
you
my
faith
by
my
works.
2:19 You
believe
that
God
is
one;
you
do
well.
Even
the
demons
believe--and
shudder!
2:20 Do
you
want
to
be
shown,
you
foolish
person,
that
faith
apart
from
works
is
useless
2:21 Was
not
Abraham
our
father
justified
by
works
when
he
offered
up
his
son
Isaac
on
the
altar
2:22 You
see
that
faith
was
active
along
with
his
works,
and
faith
was
completed
by
his
works;
2:23 and
the
Scripture
was
fulfilled
that
says,
"Abraham
believed
God,
and
it
was
counted
to
him
as
righteousness"--and
he
was
called
a
friend
of
God.
2:24 You
see
that
a
person
is
justified
by
works
and
not
by
faith
alone.
2:25 And
in
the
same
way
was
not
also
Rahab
the
prostitute
justified
by
works
when
she
received
the
messengers
and
sent
them
out
by
another
way
2:26 For
as
the
body
apart
from
the
spirit
is
dead,
so
also
faith
apart
from
works
is
dead.
