59_JAM_02_01 my brethren , have not the faith of our LORD Jesus Christ , [ the LORD ] of glory , with respect of persons .
59_JAM_02_02 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 ;
59_JAM_02_03 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 :
59_JAM_02_04 are ye not Then partial in yourselves , And are become judges of evil thoughts ?
59_JAM_02_05 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 ?
59_JAM_02_06 but ye have despised the poor . do not rich men oppress you , And draw you before the judgment seats ?
59_JAM_02_07 do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called ?
59_JAM_02_08 if ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture , thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself , ye do Well :
59_JAM_02_09 but if ye have respect to persons , ye commit sin , And are convinced of the law as transgressors .
59_JAM_02_10 for whosoever shall keep the whole law , And yet offend in one [ point ] , he Is guilty of all .
59_JAM_02_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 .
59_JAM_02_12 So speak ye , And So do , as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty .
59_JAM_02_13 for he shall have judgment without mercy , that hath showed no mercy ; And mercy rejoiceth against judgment .
59_JAM_02_14 what [ Doth it ] profit , my brethren , though A man say he hath faith , And have not works ? can faith save him ?
59_JAM_02_15 if A brother or sister be naked , And destitute of daily food ,
59_JAM_02_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 ?
59_JAM_02_17 even So faith , if it hath not works , Is dead , being alone .
59_JAM_02_18 yea , A man may say , thou hast faith , And I have works : show me thy faith without thy works , And I will show thee my faith by my works .
59_JAM_02_19 thou believest that there Is one God ; thou doest Well : the devils also believe , And tremble .
59_JAM_02_20 but Wilt thou know , O vain man , that faith without works Is dead ?
59_JAM_02_21 was not Abraham our Father justified by works , when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar ?
59_JAM_02_22 seest thou how faith wrought with his works , And by works was faith made perfect ?
59_JAM_02_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 .
59_JAM_02_24 ye see Then how that by works A man Is justified , And not by faith only .
59_JAM_02_25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works , when she had received the messengers , And had sent [ them ] out another way ?
59_JAM_02_26 for as the body without the spirit Is dead , So faith without works Is dead also .
