1
My
brethren,
have
not
the
faith
of
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;
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?
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?
6
But
ye
have
despised
the
poor.
Do
not
rich
men
oppress
you,
and
draw
you
before
the
judgment
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:
9
But
if
ye
have
respect
to
persons,
ye
commit
sin,
and
are
convinced
of
the
law
as
transgressors.
10
For
whosoever
shall
keep
the
whole
law,
and
yet
offend
in
one
[point],
he
is
guilty
of
all.
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.
12
So
speak
ye,
and
so
do,
as
they
that
shall
be
judged
by
the
law
of
liberty.
13
For
he
shall
have
judgment
without
mercy,
that
hath
shewed
no
mercy;
and
mercy
rejoiceth
against
judgment.
14
What
[doth
it]
profit,
my
brethren,
though
a
man
say
he
hath
faith,
and
have
not
works?
can
faith
save
him?
15
If
a
brother
or
sister
be
naked,
and
destitute
of
daily
food,
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?
17
Even
so
faith,
if
it
hath
not
works,
is
dead,
being
alone.
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.
20
But
wilt
thou
know,
O
vain
man,
that
faith
without
works
is
dead?
21
Was
not
Abraham
our
father
justified
by
works,
when
he
had
offered
Isaac
his
son
upon
the
altar?
22
Seest
thou
how
faith
wrought
with
his
works,
and
by
works
was
faith
made
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.
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?
26
For
as
the
body
without
the
spirit
is
dead,
so
faith
without
works
is
dead
also.
