| 1 | My brothers, don`t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. | Ac 20:21 Ac 24:24 Col 1:4 1Ti 1:19 Tit 1:1 2Pe 1:1 Rev 14:12 |
| 2 | For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly, and there come in also a poor man in filthy clothing; | Es 3:10 Es 8:2 Lk 15:22 |
| 3 | and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;" | Jud 1:16 |
| 4 | haven`t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? | Jm 1:1-27 Jb 34:19 Mal 2:9 |
| 5 | Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn`t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? | Jg 9:7 1Ki 22:28 Jb 34:10 Jb 38:14 Pr 7:24 Pr 8:32 Mk 7:14 Ac 7:2 |
| 6 | But you have dishonored the poor man. Don`t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? | Jm 2:3 Ps 14:6 Pr 14:31 Pr 17:5 Ec 9:15 Ec 9:16 Isa 53:3 Jn 8:49 1Co 11:22 |
| 7 | Don`t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? | Ps 73:7-9 Mt 12:24 Mt 27:63 Lk 22:64 Lk 22:65 Ac 26:11 1Ti 1:13 Rev 13:5 Rev 13:6 |
| 8 | However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. | Jm 2:12 Jm 1:25 1Pe 2:9 |
| 9 | But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. | Jm 2:1-4 Lv 19:15 |
| 10 | For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all. | Dt 27:26 Mt 5:18 Mt 5:19 Ga 3:10 |
| 11 | For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. | Ex 20:13 Ex 20:14 Dt 5:17 Dt 5:18 Mt 5:21-28 Mt 19:18 Mk 10:19 Lk 18:20 Ro 13:9 |
| 12 | So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. | Php 4:8 Col 3:17 2Pe 1:4-8 |
| 13 | For judgment is without mercy to him who has showed no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. | Jm 5:4 Gn 42:21 Jg 1:7 Jb 22:6-10 Pr 21:13 Isa 27:11 Mt 5:7 Mt 6:15 Mt 7:1 Mt 7:2 Mt 18:28-35 Mt 25:41-46 Lk 16:25 |
| 14 | What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can that faith save him? | Jm 2:16 Jer 7:8 Ro 2:25 1Co 13:3 1Ti 4:8 Heb 13:9 |
| 15 | And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, | Jm 2:5 Jb 31:16-21 Isa 58:7 Isa 58:10 Ezk 18:7 Mt 25:35-40 Mk 14:7 Lk 3:11 Ac 9:29 Heb 11:37 |
| 16 | and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn`t give them the things the body needs, what good is it? | Jb 22:7-9 Pr 3:27 Pr 3:28 Mt 14:15 Mt 14:16 Mt 15:32 Mt 25:42-45 Ro 12:9 2Co 8:8 1Jn 3:16-18 |
| 17 | Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. | Jm 2:14 Jm 2:19 Jm 2:20 Jm 2:26 1Co 13:3 1Co 13:13 1Th 1:3 1Ti 1:5 2Pe 1:5-9 |
| 18 | Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. | Jm 2:14 Jm 2:22 Ro 14:23 1Co 13:2 Ga 5:6 Heb 11:6 Heb 11:31 |
| 19 | You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. | Dt 6:4 Isa 43:10 Isa 44:6 Isa 44:8 Isa 45:6 Isa 45:21 Isa 45:22 Isa 46:9 Zc 14:9 Mk 12:29 Jn 17:3 Ro 3:30 1Co 8:4 1Co 8:6 Ga 3:20 Eph 4:5 Eph 4:6 1Ti 2:5 Jud 1:4 |
| 20 | But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? | Jm 1:26 Jb 11:11 Jb 11:12 Ps 94:8-11 Pr 12:11 Jer 2:5 Ro 1:21 1Co 15:35 1Co 15:36 Ga 6:3 Col 2:8 1Ti 1:6 Tit 1:10 |
| 21 | Wasn`t Abraham, our father, justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? | Jsh 24:3 Isa 51:2 Mt 3:9 Lk 1:73 Lk 16:24 Lk 16:30 Jn 8:39 Jn 8:53 Ac 7:2 Ro 4:1 Ro 4:12 Ro 4:16 |
| 22 | You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; | Jm 2:18 Ga 5:6 Heb 11:17-19 |
| 23 | and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. | Mk 12:10 Mk 15:28 Lk 4:21 Ac 1:16 Ro 9:17 Ro 11:2 Ga 3:8-10 Ga 3:22-10 2Ti 3:16 1Pe 2:6 |
| 24 | You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. | Jm 2:15-18 Jm 2:21-18 Jm 2:22-18 Ps 60:12 |
| 25 | In like manner wasn`t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? | Jsh 2:1 Mt 1:5 |
| 26 | For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. | Jb 34:14 Jb 34:15 Ps 104:29 Ps 146:4 Ec 12:7 Isa 2:22 Lk 23:46 Ac 7:59 Ac 7:60 |
