JAMES

James 2

1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, with respect of persons.
Proverbs 24:23, Proverbs 24:23, James 2:9, James 2:9, Deuteronomy 16:19
2For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel; and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire:
Luke 15:22, Luke 15:22, Esther 8:2, Esther 3:10, Esther 8:2
3And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel and shall say to him: Sit thou here well: but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or: Sit under my footstool:
2 Corinthians 8:9, 2 Corinthians 8:9, James 2:6, James 2:6, Luke 7:44
4Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?
John 7:24, John 7:24, Job 34:19, Job 34:19, Matthew 7:1
5Hearken, my dearest brethren: Hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
Matthew 5:3, Matthew 5:3, Luke 6:20, Luke 6:20, Revelation 2:9
6But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? And do not they draw you before the judgment seats?
Proverbs 17:5, Proverbs 17:5, 1 Corinthians 11:22, Proverbs 14:31, 1 Corinthians 11:22
7Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?
Philippians 2:9, Philippians 2:11, Philippians 2:9, Philippians 2:11, Psalms 111:9
8If then you fulfil the royal law, according to the scriptures: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.
Leviticus 19:18, Leviticus 19:18, Galatians 5:14, Galatians 5:14, James 2:12
9But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.
Leviticus 19:15, Leviticus 19:15, James 2:1, James 2:4, John 8:9
10And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
Galatians 3:10, Galatians 3:10, Matthew 5:18, Matthew 5:19, Matthew 5:18
11For he that said: Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also: Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Exodus 20:13, Exodus 20:14, Exodus 20:13, Exodus 20:14, Matthew 5:21
12So speak ye and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.
James 1:25, James 1:25, James 2:8, James 2:8, Colossians 3:17
13For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
Matthew 5:7, Matthew 5:7, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 6:15, Proverbs 21:13
14What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
Matthew 7:26, Matthew 7:27, Matthew 7:26, Matthew 7:27, Matthew 7:21
15And if a brother or sister be naked and want daily food:
Luke 3:11, Luke 3:11, Matthew 25:35, Matthew 25:40, Matthew 25:35
16And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?
Proverbs 3:27, Proverbs 3:28, Proverbs 3:27, Proverbs 3:28, 1 John 3:16
17So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
James 2:26, James 2:26, 2 Peter 1:5, 2 Peter 1:9, 2 Peter 1:5
18But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
1 Timothy 1:5, James 3:13, 1 Timothy 1:5, James 3:13, Titus 2:11
19Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.
Luke 4:34, Luke 4:34, Mark 1:24, Mark 1:24, Matthew 8:29
20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:17, James 2:26, James 2:17, James 2:26, Proverbs 12:11
21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?
Genesis 22:16, Genesis 22:18, Genesis 22:16, Genesis 22:18, Genesis 22:9
22Seest thou that faith did cooperate with his works and by works faith was made perfect?
1 Thessalonians 1:3, 1 Thessalonians 1:3, Hebrews 11:17, Hebrews 11:19, Hebrews 11:17
23And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.
Genesis 15:6, Genesis 15:6, Isaiah 41:8, Isaiah 41:8, 2 Chronicles 20:7
24Do you see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only?
James 2:15, James 2:18, James 2:15, James 2:18, James 2:21
25And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers and sending them out another way?
Hebrews 11:31, Hebrews 11:31, Joshua 6:22, Joshua 6:25, Joshua 6:22
26For even as the body without the spirit is dead: so also faith without works is dead.
James 2:20, James 2:20, James 2:17, James 2:17, James 2:14
