Read Bible Book Of James Chapter 2 In Online
1 - My Brothers, As Believers In Our Glorious Lord Jesus Christ, Don't Show Favoritism.
2 - Suppose A Man Comes Into Your Meeting Wearing A Gold Ring And Fine Clothes, And A Poor Man In Shabby Clothes Also Comes In.
3 - If You Show Special Attention To The Man Wearing Fine Clothes And Say, "Here's A Good Seat For You," But Say To The Poor Man, "You Stand There" Or "Sit On The Floor By My Feet,"
4 - Have You Not Discriminated Among Yourselves And Become Judges With Evil Thoughts?
5 - Listen, My Dear Brothers: Has Not God Chosen Those Who Are Poor In The Eyes Of The World To Be Rich In Faith And To Inherit The Kingdom He Promised Those Who Love Him?
6 - But You Have Insulted The Poor. Is It Not The Rich Who Are Exploiting You? Are They Not The Ones Who Are Dragging You Into Court?
7 - Are They Not The Ones Who Are Slandering The Noble Name Of Him To Whom You Belong?
8 - If You Really Keep The Royal Law Found In Scripture, "Love Your Neighbor As Yourself," You Are Doing Right.
9 - But If You Show Favoritism, You Sin And Are Convicted By The Law As Lawbreakers.
10 - For Whoever Keeps The Whole Law And Yet Stumbles At Just One Point Is Guilty Of Breaking All Of It.
11 - For He Who Said, "Do Not Commit Adultery," Also Said, "Do Not Murder." If You Do Not Commit Adultery But Do Commit Murder, You Have Become A Lawbreaker.
12 - Speak And Act As Those Who Are Going To Be Judged By The Law That Gives Freedom,
13 - Because Judgment Without Mercy Will Be Shown To Anyone Who Has Not Been Merciful. Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment!
14 - What Good Is It, My Brothers, If A Man Claims To Have Faith But Has No Deeds? Can Such Faith Save Him?
15 - Suppose A Brother Or Sister Is Without Clothes And Daily Food.
16 - If One Of You Says To Him, "Go, I Wish You Well; Keep Warm And Well Fed," But Does Nothing About His Physical Needs, What Good Is It?
17 - In The Same Way, Faith By Itself, If It Is Not Accompanied By Action, Is Dead.
18 - But Someone Will Say, "You Have Faith; I Have Deeds."
19 - Show Me Your Faith Without Deeds, And I Will Show You My Faith By What I Do. You Believe That There Is One God. Good! Even The Demons Believe That--and Shudder.
20 - You Foolish Man, Do You Want Evidence That Faith Without Deeds Is Useless ?
21 - Was Not Our Ancestor Abraham Considered Righteous For What He Did When He Offered His Son Isaac On The Altar?
22 - You See That His Faith And His Actions Were Working Together, And His Faith Was Made Complete By What He Did.
23 - And The Scripture Was Fulfilled That Says, "Abraham Believed God, And It Was Credited To Him As Righteousness," And He Was Called God's Friend.
24 - You See That A Person Is Justified By What He Does And Not By Faith Alone.
25 - In The Same Way, Was Not Even Rahab The Prostitute Considered Righteous For What She Did When She Gave Lodging To The Spies And Sent Them Off In A Different Direction?
26 - As The Body Without The Spirit Is Dead, So Faith Without Deeds Is Dead.
